On the Oakland A’s podcast with Charlie O:

#1 The Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout hit a big milestone against the Oakland A’s on Saturday scoring his career 1,000th run in the last of the sixth inning in the Angels 5-3 win.

#2 The Angels were on a skid before Saturday’s game losing 4 straight including a loss to the A’s on Friday night. The A’s came away with a 4-2 win against the Angels.

#3 Back to Saturday’s game the A’s again simply didn’t get the hitting in the first seven innings as Angel starter Michael Lorenzen shut them out for six innings.

#4 The A’s finally got on the scoreboard in the top of the eighth when Sheldon Neuse hit for an RBI single and later scored on Jed Lowrie’s leftfield double.

#5 Today’s starters at the Big A for the A’s left hander Cole Irvin (2-1, 2.93) and for the Angels Partrick Sandoval (2-1, 1.91) a 1:07 pm PDT first pitch.
