Lowe’s First Career Grand Slam Lifts Angels to 4-1 Win Over Athletics

The homer highlights a burst of offense after Lowe’s recent recall from Triple-A and helped preserve a pitching turnaround for the club.

Overview

  • Josh Lowe hit his first career grand slam Sunday to drive in all four runs in the Angels’ 4-1 victory over Oakland.
  • Sam Aldegheri delivered a bounce-back start by going five innings and allowing one run on five hits while striking out four.
  • Relievers José Fermin and Ryan Zeferjahn held the A’s scoreless before rookie Samy Natera Jr. recorded his first major-league save with four outs and a final strikeout.
  • The Athletics managed one run on a Joey Meneses sacrifice fly and went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position, leaving eight men on base.
  • Lowe was sent to Triple-A in late May, was recalled in late June, and his big hit adds to an Angels stretch where the team has won six of eight games.
