Heim’s Blast Wasn’t Enough as Angels Tie The Series; Halos score late for 5-2 win
By Mauricio Segura
The Los Angeles Angels scored once in the seventh and twice in the eighth enough to get by the Sacramento A’s 5-2 at the Big A in Anaheim on Satuday night.
Runs were difficult to come by early as both starting pitchers settled into an impressive rhythm very quickly. Sacramento managed just one hit through the first three innings, but that hit traveled a long way. Jonah Heim opened the second inning by launching a solo home run to straightaway center field, giving the Green and Gold an early 1-0 advantage.
It was the only damage against Angels left-hander Reid Detmers through the opening frames as he piled up strikeouts and kept Sacramento’s lineup from putting together sustained rallies.
Jack Perkins matched him pitch for pitch for much of the early evening. The right-hander retired six straight batters after allowing a first-inning single and received some defensive help in the third when Colby Thomas made a diving catch in left field to rob Denzer Guzman of extra bases.
Perkins also showed off the new Automated Ball-Strike challenge system, successfully overturning a ball call into a strikeout against Wade Meckler in the fourth inning.
The Angels finally cracked the scoreboard later that same inning. Nolan Schanuel drew a walk before Jorge Soler lined a single into left. With one out, Jo Adell ripped a ground ball into the left-field corner that rolled all the way to the wall for a two-run triple, scoring both runners and putting Los Angeles in front 2-1.
Sacramento answered in the sixth after Nick Kurtz lined a single to right. A wild pitch moved him into scoring position before Lawrence Butler worked a walk. Following another out, Thomas delivered again, lining a sharp single into left to score Kurtz and knot the game at 2-2.
The Athletics appeared ready for a bigger inning after another wild pitch advanced both runners, but Chase Silseth entered from the bullpen and struck out Max Muncy to leave the go-ahead runs stranded.
The missed opportunity quickly became costly. Justin Sterner escaped trouble in the bottom of the sixth by stranding Jo Adell at third base, but the Angels reclaimed the lead an inning later. Josh Lowe singled, stole second, moved to third on a groundout and raced home when Guzman’s two-out single glanced off Muncy’s glove at third base and rolled into left field.
Sacramento’s best chance to swing the game back came in the eighth. Shea Langeliers singled, Butler walked and Heim drew another free pass to load the bases with one out. The rally ended there, however, as pinch hitter Carlos Cortes struck out and Muncy lined out to center, allowing reliever Sam Bachman to preserve the one-run lead.
The Angels made certain the missed chance would loom even larger. Soler singled to begin the bottom of the eighth, and after Adell was hit by a pitch, pinch-runner Vaughn Grissom scored on Oswald Peraza’s sharp single to center. Logan O’Hoppe followed with another RBI single, extending the lead to 5-2 before Sacramento turned an inning-ending double play.
Kirby Yates handled the ninth without allowing a baserunner, retiring Jeff McNeil, Joey Meneses and Henry Bolte to close the game. Bolte endured a difficult afternoon, finishing hitless while striking out three times. Heim supplied Sacramento’s biggest offensive spark, reaching base three times with his home run and a walk, while Thomas contributed an RBI single and highlighted the defense with his diving grab in left.
Perkins deserved a better outcome after limiting the damage over his outing, but Sacramento’s offense managed only five hits and went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position. The Athletics also left the bases loaded in the eighth, a missed opportunity that proved to be the turning point as the Angels scored twice in the bottom half to put the game away.
The rubber match offers Sacramento an opportunity to leave Southern California with another series victory. Aaron Civale (5-4, 4.88 ERA, 46 strikeouts) is scheduled to start for the Athletics against Angels left-hander Sam Aldegheri (2-3, 5.47 ERA, 16 strikeouts), with first pitch set for 12:15 p.m. Pacific.

Sacramento A’s podcast Tony Harvey:
#1 The Sacramento A’s Shea Langeliers got their sixth straight single in the top of the fifth inning during a seven run rally that help defeat the Los Angeles Angels 9-3 on Friday night. This coming after the Angels fired general manager Perry Minasian (Ma-Nah-ssian) on Thursday.

#3 Angels starter Walbert Urena was perfect until the fifth inning. Urena threw for 15 straight strikes doing it over 36 pitches 31 of those for strikes and he retired the first 12 hitters he faced.
#4 Max Muncy got an infield hit that ended Urena’s perfect game and the eventually loaded the bases. The A’s built a 7-1 lead and did most of the damage in the fifth inning.

Angels Turn the A’s Lineup Into Background Noise; Halos starter Urena and 3 relievers shutout Sac 7-0
By Mauricio Segura
WEST SACRAMENTO–Friday, the Sacramento Athletics pulled a rabbit out of a batting helmet, climbing from a seven-run hole to win in 10 innings. One game later Saturday, the Angels buried the Green and Gold before any late magic could get even a toe on the field. Los Angeles beat the Athletics 7-0, using early pressure, a four-run sixth inning and a pitching relay that turned Sacramento’s bats into a long quiet drive home.
The A’s had a chance to change the tone right away. Nick Kurtz opened the bottom of the first with a double to center, Tyler Soderstrom was hit by a pitch, and Jacob Wilson loaded the bases with a single to right. That brought Jonah Heim to the plate with one out and the crowd was ready for a jolt. Instead, Heim struck out, Lawrence Butler grounded out, and the inning ended with three runners stranded. It was the best chance the Athletics had all game, and it vanished before the Angels broke a sweat.
Los Angeles went to work in the second against J.T. Ginn. Jo Adell doubled to center, Wade Meckler reached on a free pass, and Donovan Walton sent a ground ball into right field to score Adell. Jose Siri followed with a sacrifice fly to left, bringing home Meckler and giving the Angels a 2-0 lead. Ginn avoided further trouble after Tyler Heineman doubled and Zach Neto earned another free pass, but the damage had already put the A’s in chase mode.
For a while, Ginn settled in. He escaped a bases-loaded spot in the third when Walton hit into a force at home and Siri grounded out. He then retired the Angels in order in the fourth and fifth, giving the Athletics a window to get back into the game. The problem was Walbert Ureña kept slamming that window shut. Ureña worked five scoreless innings, allowing four hits while striking out five. Each time the A’s looked ready to build something, he yanked the rug from under their feet.
The sixth inning turned the game from manageable to miserable. Walton singled, Siri singled, and Scott Barlow replaced Ginn with one out. Heineman then singled to right, loading the bases for Neto, who doubled down the left-field side to score Walton and Siri. Nolan Schanuel followed with a two-run double to right, sending Heineman and Neto home and pushing the Angels ahead 6-0. Ginn’s line ended at 5 1/3 innings, seven hits and four runs, a rough turn after entering the game with a 2.91 ERA and a career-best three-game winning streak.
Denzer Guzman added the final run in the seventh, homering to left off Geoff Hartlieb. For the Angels, it was a full-team effort. Walton had three hits and scored twice, Adell added three hits of his own, Neto drove in two, and Schanuel matched him with two RBIs. The Angels finished with 13 hits and made the A’s pay almost every time traffic gathered on the bases.
The Athletics did have one more opening in the seventh. Henry Bolte singled, Max Muncy drew a free pass, and Kurtz loaded the bases with another free pass after Ryan Zeferjahn replaced Samy Natera Jr. But Shea Langeliers grounded out, and the last real threat disappeared. Zeferjahn handled the eighth, and Kirby Yates finished the ninth with two strikeouts, closing a combined five-hit shutout.
For the A’s, the loss also snapped some of the momentum from a strong recent run. They had won two straight and seven of their previous 10, had moved back to .500, and had already taken the first two games of the series against Los Angeles. They also entered with one of baseball’s hottest offenses, but this time the power never showed. Kurtz doubled, Wilson singled, Butler singled, Jeff McNeil doubled, and Bolte singled. But no one scored.
Game 4 of the series Sunday gives the Athletics a chance to put this dud in the rearview mirror. the A’s Jack Perkins (2-3, 6.15 ERA, 49 K) gets the ball against Reid Detmers (3-5, 3.68 ERA) for the Angels, with first pitch set for 1:05 p.m. Pacific.

Sacramento A’s left fielder Tyler Soderstrom (21) goes down to make a catch on the fly against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento on Wed Jun 17, 2026 (Golden Bay Times photo)
By Mauricio Segura
WEST SACRAMENTO–The Pittsburgh Pirates wasted no time turning the game sideways, roughing up Sacramento A’s starter Aaron Civale for five runs in the first two innings and forcing the Athletics to spend the rest of the night chasing a game that had already picked up speed without them.
The Pirates battered Civale early and never gave the Athletics much room to breathe in a 12-4 win. Civale, making his return from the injured list after right shoulder tendonitis, did not get the smooth reception he wanted. Spencer Horwitz opened the game with a double to right, Brandon Lowe drew a walk, and Bryan Reynolds bounced a ground-rule double into right to score Horwitz. Ryan O’Hearn followed with a two-run double to left, and just like that, Pittsburgh had a 3-0 lead before the Athletics had taken a swing.
Braxton Ashcraft made that lead look even bigger by setting down the A’s in order in the first. Nick Kurtz struck out, Shea Langeliers lined out, and Tyler Soderstrom also lined out, giving Sacramento no early leeway. Pittsburgh kept pecking away in the second. Jared Triolo singled, Horwitz doubled again, Lowe singled home Triolo, and Reynolds drove in Horwitz with a single to center. The Pirates led 5-0 after two innings, and the Athletics were already staring up a steep hill.
Civale’s outing ended after he issued a leadoff walk to Lowe in the fourth. José Suarez took over, but O’Hearn greeted him with a two-run homer to left, pushing Pittsburgh ahead 7-0. O’Hearn was the hammer all game, finishing with a double, homer, single, and five RBIs. Horwitz also gave the Pirates a major boost from the top of the order, reaching four times with two doubles and two walks while scoring three runs.
For the Athletics, there were a few bright spots buried in the rubble. Jonah Heim picked up singles in the fourth and sixth. Kurtz, who entered the game as one of the most productive hitters in baseball and had been on a strong June tear, singled to open the sixth.
Langeliers followed with a walk, and after Soderstrom’s grounder and a Pittsburgh error moved the action along, Jacob Wilson lined a two-run single to center. That cut the deficit to 7-2 and gave the home side a little movement, even if it was not enough to truly rattle the Pirates.
Pittsburgh had its biggest burst in the seventh. Marcell Ozuna led off with a homer to center, Jake Mangum singled, Triolo and Henry Davis were hit by pitches, and the inning snowballed from there. Horwitz drew a bases-loaded walk, Lowe lifted a sacrifice fly, and O’Hearn added a two-run single to center. By the time the inning ended, the Pirates had turned the game into a 12-2 burial.
Henry Bolte gave Sacramento a quick jolt in the bottom half, launching a solo homer to center off Evan Sisk. It was a nice response from the rookie, who entered the day batting over .300 and had been one of the more interesting young bats in the Athletics’ lineup.
Zack Gelof added another swing worth remembering in the ninth, driving a solo homer to left off Isaac Mattson. Gelof’s blast extended his career-best hitting streak to 21 games, continuing one of the best individual runs by an Athletics hitter this century.
The problem was that most of the A’s offense came too late and too far apart. Sacramento struck out 11 times and managed only six hits. Lawrence Butler had a rough night with four strikeouts, while Kurtz struck out three times. Ashcraft gave Pittsburgh six strong innings, allowing two runs, only one earned, on four hits and three walks. He kept Saccramento from gathering momentum until the game was already leaning heavily toward Pittsburgh.
The loss was another reminder of the Athletics’ strange season. They have enough offense to make pitchers sweat, enough power to flip a game in one swing, and enough young talent to keep things interesting. But the pitching has been leaking runs too often, especially at home, and this one got away before the Green and Gold could make their bats matter.
For Game 1 of a new four game weekend series against the Angels Thursday, Sacramento will send rookie left-hander Gage Jump (2-1, 3.09 ERA, 23 K) to the mound against Angels right-hander José Soriano (8-4, 2.79 ERA, 92 K). This matchup has real bite if Jump can keep the ball in the yard and Soriano brings his usual trouble. First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. Pacific.
