Good production from designated hitter Austin Meadows helped the Los Angeles Angels topple the Oakland Athletics, 13-3. Meadows was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4 for the Angels. Los Angeles is 77-83 and Oakland, with the loss, 85-75.

Tyrone Taylor had a big grand slam home run for the Angels in the top of the second inning. With Los Angeles leading 3-0 and the bases loaded, he sized up a curveball from Yusei Kikuchi, who is tied for 4th in the AL with a 10.9 K/9 rate, and punished it. The result was his 14th home run of the season, which put the Angels on top, 7-0.

Oakland manager Brad P said: "We'll put this one in the trash can and get ready for the next game."
