Josh Harrison drove in two runs and Mark Canha scored the go-ahead run on a passed ball in the sixth for the A’s. Oakland committed three errors in the first two innings, stranded 10 runners in the first six innings and didn’t have an extra-base hit. Kurt Suzuki homered and David Fletcher had a two-run single for the Angels, who have lost seven of 11.
