Los Angeles (73-87) lost a hard-fought Game 1 against Oakland. Patrick Sandoval's efforts were eventually in vain due the two pitchers who came after him. In 6.0 IPs, Sandoval conceded a single hit without giving away any earned runs and managing sox strikeouts. Jimmy Herget and Jose Quijada contributed to their team's loss, giving away two earned runs apiece.
However, the pitchers who came after Adrian Martinez for the Angels proved to be economical. They did not concede a single earned run and restricted Los Angeles to four. The batters made sure to score one more run than the away team, leading the Angels to victory. Oakland (58-102) is last in the division and will look for more wins before the season ends.
With only two games remaining for the season to end, Game 2 becomes the most important game of the series. If the Athletics win it, they will win the series. If the Angels take it, the series will all go down to the third and final game.
