Langeliers’ three-run homer capped a five-run eighth inning and led Oakland to a 7-3 victory, just their fourth in the last 16 games.
ANAHEIM — Even with a two-run deficit in the eighth inning of the 161st game of a 111-loss season, the Oakland Athletics were still fighting.Shea Langeliers hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the A’s five-run eighth inning, leading Oakland to a 7-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night.
Oakland could have been crushed after Joe Boyle’s no-hit bid ended with LA’s three-run rally in the seventh, but nobody gave up. But the Angels’ bullpen promptly blew a two-run lead when four straight A’s reached to begin the eighth, capped by Gelof’s RBI single that chased Ben Joyce . Jose Soriano then balked in the tying run before Langeliers’ two-out shot to right.
Acquired from Cincinnati on July 31, Boyle got promoted in mid-September and promptly threw 15 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run over three starts before Los Angeles finally got to him. Brandon Drury then got the Angels’ first hit with a one-out double that barely eluded diving center fielder Esteury Ruiz. Mike Moustakas drove in Schanuel with a flyout.
