Zach Neto had a tiebreaking three-run double in the sixth inning as the Angels complete three-game sweep of Oakland.
Zach Neto had a tiebreaking three-run double in the sixth inning, and the Angels beat the Oakland Athletics 5-2 Wednesday to sweep their three-game series. Max Schuemann had an early RBI double that should have driven in two runs for the A’s, but Kyle McCann was called out instead when he failed to touch home plate and then made contact with teammate Armando Alvarez, who had already scored. The Angels trailed 1-0 until its five-run sixth.
He nearly ran into Alvarez, who reached out to steady him and to encourage him to go back to touch the plate, which he did. But plate umpire John Bacon immediately called McCann out, because a player isn’t allowed to touch another player who’s still running the bases. Video review confirmed McCann had missed the plate on his first try, and the out ended the inning.
