Pena Bubbles Away as Colavito Powers A’s Past Angels
Kansas City starter Orlando Pena, previously scolded for bubble gum and crayon marks, beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-4 as Oakland stretched its win streak to three. Rocky Colavito delivered a pair of early long balls and a clutch single, driving in important runs and keeping the horned cheers alive. The A’s moved within a half game of the Yankees, with Colavito adding the bases-empty homer in the fifth and a later hit to pad the lead. Bryan Red and other teammates supported the offense as Chicago and Cleveland also won in the day’s games.
