ANAHEIM \u2014 It didn\u2019t take long for Josh Lowe to shake off the pain.<\/p>\n

Two pitches after his foul ball bounced up and hit him in a very tender area, Lowe blasted the first grand slam of his big league career.<\/p>\n

The second-inning blast was all the Angels needed in a 4-1 victory over the A\u2019s on Sunday, winning the series and continuing their weeks-long stretch of encouraging baseball.<\/p>\n

Ever since the A\u2019s took three of four from the Angels in May, including back-to-back extra inning games, the Angels (36-49) have been playing consistently solid baseball. They are 19-15 since that series, a .558 winning percentage.<\/p>\n

During that span, they have scored 185 runs, which is the second most in the majors.<\/p>\n

The latest victory was sparked by players who had been dispatched to Triple-A earlier this season.<\/p>\n

Lowe was sent down in May \u2014 just after that A\u2019s series, actually \u2014 with a .184 average. At Salt Lake, he cleared his head and improved his approach at the plate, earning a ticket back to the big leagues. In four games since he\u2019s been up, he\u2019s 5 for 12.<\/p>\n

Starter Sam Aldegheri, who spent most of the first two months in the minors, got going back in the right direction after consecutive poor starts.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Aldegheri gave up one run in five innings, the best of his five career major league starts. He gave up five hits and a walk, and he struck out four.<\/p>\n

In the fifth, he gave up back-to-back hits to the bottom hitters in the order, putting him in a dicey spot as the hitters at the top got their third look at him. Aldegheri retired all three, with a run scoring on a sacrifice fly.<\/p>\n

After Aldegheri was out, the Angels brought in right-hander Jos\u00e9 Fermin, who had two-week stint at Triple-A earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Fermin pitched two scoreless innings. He has not allowed a run in eight innings since coming back from the minors.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Left-hander Samy Natera Jr., who had been in Triple-A for the first two months of the season, retired A\u2019s slugger Nick Kurtz on a fly ball to strand two runners in the eighth. Kurtz was getting the day off, but he came up to pinch-hit representing the tying run with two outs. Angels manger Kurt Suzuki responded by taking out Ryan Zeferjahn and bringing in Natera.<\/p>\n
