Neto’s Ninth-Inning Homer Gives Angels 9-7 Comeback Win Over A’s

The rally shows that late homers plus shaky starting pitching put a premium on relievers in deciding close games.

Overview

  • The Angels rallied to beat the Athletics 9-7 when Zach Neto hit a two-run homer in the ninth to give Los Angeles its first lead on Sunday.
  • Denzer Guzman tied the game with a three-run homer in the eighth after Nick Kurtz and the A’s had built a multi-run lead earlier in the game.
  • Angels starter Reid Detmers struggled with command, allowing five runs and four walks over six innings while A’s starter Jack Perkins struck out eight in five innings.
  • Chase Silseth earned the win by throwing a scoreless eighth and Sam Bachman recorded his first save of the season with a perfect ninth.
  • Individual milestones included Zac Gelof extending his hit streak to 24 games, Nick Kurtz hitting his 19th homer, and Joey Meneses driving in a run in his A’s debut.
