Anaheim, Calif. — Athletics starter J.T. Ginn carried a no-hit bid into the ninth inning Monday night before Adam Frazier opened the ninth with a leadoff single and Zach Neto followed with a two-run homer, giving the Los Angeles Angels a 2-1 victory. Ginn recorded ten strikeouts and threw approximately 105 pitches during the game. The Angels’ rally snapped a multi-game losing streak and capped a late comeback after Lawrence Butler’s pinch-hit RBI had briefly put Oakland ahead in the ninth; the game ended Monday with Ginn credited with a loss despite his career-high strikeout total, and the teams will proceed to their next scheduled matchups this week.
