The Athletics handed the Los Angeles Angels a lopsided defeat on Friday night at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, cruising to a 9-3 victory in a game that was never particularly close.
Oakland’s offense proved too much for the Angels to handle, as the Athletics built a commanding advantage and never relinquished it, finishing with a six-run margin that told the story of the evening. The Angels, playing at home in Anaheim, were unable to generate enough offense to keep pace with their American League West rivals.
The final score of 9-3 represents a convincing road win for the Athletics, who left Southern California with a statement victory against a division opponent.
