## Resource

The Athletics fell short in a heartbreaker, dropping a 5-2 game against the Angels after failing to deliver when it mattered most. With runners loaded in the eighth inning and trailing by just one, they struck out and flew out, leaving all three stranded. The Angels added two more runs in the ninth to seal the win. Jack Perkins pitched well enough to get out of jams, but the offense couldn’t support him. Bright spots included Shea Langeliers’ birthday homer and Colby Thomas’ RBI single ending a hitless streak, but Tyler Soderstrom’s exit due to hip soreness adds concern. Ultimately, it was a missed opportunity — clutch hitting vanished, and the A’s couldn’t overcome the deficit. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
