Rookie Logan O’Hoppe hit his first homer, a three-run shot. Tyler Anderson won his first start for the Angels, who took two of three in Oakland.
OAKLAND — Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani weren’t about to be shown up by a rookie.
The Angels took two of three in the season-opening series, outscoring the A’s 19-1 after absorbing a frustrating 2-1 loss on Opening Day. O’Hoppe, who has hit eighth or ninth each of the first three games, has driven in the Angels first run each game. He came to the plate in the fourth inning after Hunter Renfroe reached on an infield hit and Luis Rengifo walked.
O’Hoppe, the Angels’ 23-year-old No. 1 prospect, has four hits in his first 10 at-bats, with six RBIs so far this season.
