Overview
- The Los Angeles Angels beat the Oakland Athletics 7-0 on Saturday night with Walbert Ureña and three relievers combining on a five-hitter.
- Ureña worked five scoreless innings, allowed four hits, struck out six with no walks and extended his run to 10 straight starts of at least five innings with three or fewer earned runs.
- Zach Neto and Nolan Schanuel each hit two-run doubles in a four-run sixth inning and Denzer Guzman added a solo homer in the seventh to provide decisive offense.
- Samy Matera Jr., Ryan Zeferjahn and Kirby Yates combined to finish the game with four scoreless innings, a rebound from the bullpen’s late trouble in Friday’s loss.
- The win moved the Angels to 2-4 on the road trip and sets Reid Detmers to start the series finale against Jack Perkins, while Ureña’s streak raises hopes he can stabilize a struggling staff.
