ANAHEIM \u2014 It took about 15 minutes for Walbert Ure\u00f1a to go from the best game of his career to the worst.<\/p>\n

The Angels right-hander retired the first 12 hitters he faced on Friday night, barely even throwing a pitch out of the strike zone.<\/p>\n

In the fifth, though, Ure\u00f1a gave up seven runs, sending the Angels on their way to a 9-3 loss to the A\u2019s in a game that was played just over an hour after they announced that they had fired General Manager Perry Minasian.<\/p>\n

Although the season has been bad enough to cost Minasian his job, one of the most positive developments was the emergence of the 22-year-old Ure\u00f1a as a rotation fixture.<\/p>\n

Ure\u00f1a was at his best when the game began. He didn\u2019t even throw a ball until the second inning, on his 16th pitch.<\/p>\n

He needed just 36 pitches to get through the first four innings. He threw 35 pitches in the fifth and only recorded one out.<\/p>\n

It all started with a walk to Tyler Soderstrom. Ure\u00f1a got an out on a ground ball, and then he issued another walk.<\/p>\n

Max Muncy then hit a sharp grounder up the middle. Second baseman Donovan Walton got a glove on it with a backhand attempt, but the ball skipped away.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Any debate over whether the first hit of the game should be on a questionable scoring decision was short-lived, because Jeff McNeil yanked the next pitch through the hole on the right side, for an RBI single.<\/p>\n

It snowballed after that.<\/p>\n

Ure\u00f1a gave up four more hits on his next 17 pitches. He also threw a wild pitch and was called for a balk when he made a pickoff throw to first after he\u2019d already used his two disengagements permitted by pitch timer rules.<\/p>\n

By the time Ure\u00f1a was removed, the Angels were down 7-1. The performance lifted his ERA from 2.41 to 3.14.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

In Ure\u00f1a\u2019s first 12 major league starts, he had not allowed more than four runs. He had frequently demonstrated the poise to escape jams, minimizing the damage even when he didn\u2019t have his best stuff.<\/p>\n

Left-hander Brent Suter followed Ure\u00f1a to the mound and soaked up seven more outs, allowing two runs.<\/p>\n

At the plate, the Angels managed a run on a two-out RBI single from Walton in the fourth inning and a two-run homer from Jo Adell in the fifth. It was Adell\u2019s 11th homer of the season.<\/p>\n

The Angels scored three runs against A\u2019s right-hander J.T. Ginn, who nearly pitched a no-hitter against them in May.<\/p>\n

The Angels scored seven runs against Ginn in their next two meetings, including four runs last weekend in Sacramento.<\/p>\n

Manager Kurt Suzuki was ejected in the seventh inning for arguing a catcher\u2019s interference call. The A\u2019s Henry Bolte hit catcher Logan O\u2019Hoppe\u2019s glove with his bat, but the contact was made on a check swing after O\u2019Hoppe caught the pitch.<\/p>\n
