Anaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Greg Smith threw his second complete game of
the year as the Oakland Athletics opened a three-game set against the LA
Angels of Anaheim with a 6-1 win at Angel Stadium.
Smith (5-6) gave up just one run and four hits along with two walks and three
strikeouts for the Athletics, who snapped a two-game losing streak. Eric
Chavez drove in a pair of runs while Carlos Gonzalez went 3-for-5 with a run
scored.
Mike Napoli drove in the lone run with a solo homer while Jon Garland (7-5)
was tagged with the loss giving up four runs -- two earned -- on eight
hits in six-plus innings for the Angels, who have dropped four of their last
five.
Oakland grabbed the lead in the second inning. Bobby Crosby led off with a
double and moved to third on Gonzalez's infield single. Mark Ellis then
grounded out and Crosby crossed the plate. Daric Barton later singled to score
Gonzalez for a 2-0 lead.
The Angels had runners in each of the first three innings, but were unable to
take advantage.
After getting retired in order in the fourth, Anaheim got a run in the fifth
off the bat of Napoli, who lifted the ball over the left-center fence to
make it a 2-1 game.
The A's gave themselves some insurance in the seventh. Ryan Sweeney beat out
an infield single to start the frame. Kurt Suzuki then lofted a ball to deep
center and Juan Rivera had it lined up right near the wall, but the ball
popped out of his glove and the A's had men on second and third.
Darren Oliver then took the mound and got Jack Cust to ground out, but Chavez
followed with a double to bring both men home for a 4-1 lead.
Oakland tacked on another run in the eighth inning as Barton laced a two-out
single and Sweeney smacked a double to center to score Barton for a 5-1 lead.
After the home run in the fifth, Smith effectively silenced the Angels' bats
as he gave up just a single in the sixth inning and the eighth.
The A's made it a 6-1 game in the ninth as Howie Kendrick's throwing error
allowed Gonzalez to score.
Smith then retired the Angels in order in the ninth to finish the game.
