Tyler Soderstrom drove in three runs, including the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th, as the Athletics rallied for a 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night in Anaheim, Calif.
Soderstrom sliced a single into the gap in left-center with one in the 10th that bounced past left fielder Josh Lowe for an error, driving in automatic runner Nick Kurtz from second with what proved to be the game-winning run.
Jeff McNeil homered and Kurtz extended his on-base streak to 43 games with two walks and an RBI single and also scored twice for the Athletics. Right-hander Scott Barlow (1-0) pitched one inning of hitless relief, and left-hander Hogan Harris got out of a bases-loaded jam in the 10th to garner his fourth save.
Jo Adell homered and doubled and Jorge Soler and Lowe also homered for Los Angeles, which suffered its eighth loss in the last nine games. Chase Silseth (1-1) picked up the loss.
The Athletics took advantage of some early wildness by Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz to take a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Shea Langeliers was hit by a pitch with one out, Kurtz walked and Brent Rooker chopped an infield single to load the bases. Soderstrom then bounced a single into center to drive in Langeliers and Kurtz.
The Angels came right back to tie it, 2-2, in the bottom of the first when Soler hit his ninth home run, a 432-foot blast to left-center that drove in Mike Trout, who had walked.
The A's took a 3-2 lead in the second when Henry Bolte walked, stole second and scored on Carlos Cortes' single to left which Lowe allowed to get by him for an error.
Los Angeles grabbed a 5-3 lead in the bottom of the second. Adell led off with his seventh homer, a 419-foot drive to left-center, to tie it, 3-3. One out later, Logan O'Hoppe walked and Lowe followed with his first home run since April 28, a 426-foot drive to right-center.
The Athletics cut the lead to 5-4 in the seventh on an RBI single by Kurtz that drove in Darell Hernaiz, who was hit by a pitch and had advanced to second when Cortes was also hit by a pitch.
McNeil then led off the ninth with a home run into the right field corner off Kirby Yates to tie it, 5-5, setting the stage for Soderstrom's game-winning RBI in the 10th.
