Oakland Absorbs 9-6 Loss to Los Angeles
Oakland left fielder Bryan De La Cruz had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. De La Cruz was 2 for 4 with 2 doubles, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once, even as Los Angeles beat the Athletics, 9-6. The winning pitcher was Matthew Liberatore. His record now stands at 2-2. The left-hander went 5 innings, allowing 4 runs on 3 hits for the Angels. Los Angeles is 64-72 and Oakland, with the loss, 76-59.

In the bottom of the sixth, Los Angeles first baseman Lane Thomas had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and one out, Thomas stroked a 2-run single to left. It made the score 7-4, Los Angeles. For the game, he was 1 for 2 with 2 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored once.

"Enjoyed this one," Thomas told the Los Angeles Daily News. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
