The Angels use eight different pitchers – a team record for a nine-inning game – in shutting out the A’s, 2 – 0. Reliever Cory Rasmus gets things going by pitching the first three innings, and a different pitcher is used for each of the last 5 innings. In the 4th, Michael Roth gets himself in a bases loaded, one out jam, but Yoslan Herrera induced Jonny Gomes to hit into an inning-ending double play and is the one who ends up with credit for the win. Ironically, for the A’s, Jeff Samardzija throws a complete game but loses, a loss that increases the Angels’ lead in the AL West to four games.
