Luis Rengifo delivered a two-run double during a five-run second inning, but the Angels couldn't keep pace during a 6-5 loss to Oakland Thursday.
Luis Rengifo had a two-run double during a five-run second inning for the Angels, but it wasn't enough to avoid a loss to the visiting Oakland Athletics. Lawrence Butler and Brent Rooker both hit their ninth home run in July, and the Athletics continued their power surge with a 6-5 victory over the Angels on Thursday night. The Angels had won four in a row entering the contest. Daz Cameron put Oakland on top with a two-run shot in the fourth inning off Angels starter Kenny Rosenberg .
The right fielder then drove a cutter from Rosenberg over the wall in center for two runs to get the Athletics within 5-4 in the second inning. 'They had a big inning. Schuemann got on like he always does and I was just trying to keep it going for the team. I just happened to hit a two-run homer to get us back in the game,' Butler said. Rooker is batting .403 this month, third-best in the majors.
