Neto’s Go-Ahead HR in 9th Inning, Guzman’s Tying Shot in 8th Help Angels Beat A’s 9
Zach Neto’s ninth-inning homer capped a comeback after Denzer Guzman tied it with a three-run shot and the Angels overcame a 4-0 deficit.
On Saturday, the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Oakland Athletics 7-0 in West Sacramento behind five scoreless innings from starter Walbert Ureña, with Zach Neto and Nolan Schanuel each driving in two runs via doubles.
Ureña earned his 10th consecutive start allowing three or fewer earned runs, though home plate umpire Dan Bellino required him to remove a headband with the Dominican Republic flag before the first pitch.
Led by Denzer Guzman and Zach Neto, the Angels secured a 9-7 victory over the Athletics on Sunday, overcoming deficits with Guzman's three-run home run in the eighth and Neto's go-ahead two-run shot in the ninth.
Despite a rocky start from Angels LHP Reid Detmers, who allowed five runs over six innings, the Angels split the four-game series as Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz hit his 19th home run of the season.
Heading home for a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles, the Angels concluded their road trip while the Athletics prepare for a Tuesday matchup against the Giants.
