WEST SACRAMENTO \u2014 The Angels scored 11 consecutive runs to build a seven-run lead on Friday night, but their inability to close out games bit them again as the A\u2019s rallied to tie the score with two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning then won, 12-11, on a bases-loaded walk in the 10th.<\/p>\n

A strike-em-out, throw-em-out double play to end the top of the ninth seemed to be a harbinger of the end for the Angels. With the heart of the Athletics\u2019 lineup coming to the plate in the bottom of the inning, the Angels sent out Sam Bachman to close out the game.<\/p>\n

Shea Langeliers flew out on the first pitch of the ninth, to calm things down, but a Tyler Soderstrom double put a runner on and brought the tying run to the plate. Jacob Wilson grounded to short for the second out, but pinch-hitter Jonah Heim sent one into the seats to knot the score at 11. Lawrence Butler grounded out after hitting a pair of long fly balls went just to the right of the fair pole.<\/p>\n

The Angels advanced automatic runner Christian Moore to third on a sacrifice fly in the top of the 10th, but a heads-up play by A\u2019s third baseman Max Muncy cut him down when he tried to sprint home on a slow chopper from Logan O\u2019Hoppe for the second out. Wade Meckler then struck out.<\/p>\n

Kirby Yates loaded the bases with just one out in the bottom of the 10th, leading to left-hander Samy Natera Jr. coming in to face Nick Kurtz with the bases loaded. Natera walked him on five pitches to give the A\u2019s a literal walk-off win.<\/p>\n

After losing Mike Trout to the injured list and being shut out by the A\u2019s on Thursday, the Angels were looking for a spark on offense. A\u2019s starter Jeffrey Springs held a 10.66 ERA in three June starts going into Friday\u2019s game, and looked like the right opponent to get the Angels\u2019 bats going.<\/p>\n

It took one turn through the lineup, but the visitors found their spark in the fourth, and then sprinted through nine home run-filled innings in the loss.<\/p>\n

Trailing 4-0 entering the fourth inning, a sacrifice fly from Moore got the Angels on the scoreboard, then Denzer Guzman\u2019s two-run homer really got the offense going.<\/p>\n

Springs walked the next two batters, Logan O\u2019Hoppe and Wade Meckler, then Jose Siri hammered a 444-foot three-run homer to give the Angels a 6-4 lead. They kept piling on runs.<\/p>\n

After a pitching change, Zach Neto launched his third home run in four games and the Angels\u2019 third home run of the inning, extending the lead to 7-4 after the end of the fourth.<\/p>\n

The Angels kept rolling in the top of the fifth with a Jo Adell walk and a single from Oswald Peraza putting two runners on before O\u2019Hoppe hit his fourth home run of the season \u2013 part of a 3-for-4 night with a walk \u2013 to make it 10-4. O\u2019Hoppe is 7 for 15 on the first five games of this road trip.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Soriano was far from his best, giving up six hits, four earned runs, four walks and striking out six in five innings, but he was good enough to keep the A\u2019s bats at bay when the ball was flying.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Springs was charged with six earned runs in his 3\u2154 innings, giving up four hits and four walks while striking out four on 86 pitches (47 strikes).<\/p>\n

The A\u2019s offense struck first, with right fielder Lawrence Butler breaking the scoreless tie in the bottom of the second, and then a walk and three doubles in the third extending the lead to 4-0.<\/p>\n

Wilson and Muncy added two-run homers in the seventh and eighth innings get the A\u2019s within 11-9, setting the stage for the dramatic finish.<\/p>\n
