Athletics Sweep Angels in Three-Game Series

The Oakland Athletics swept the Los Angeles Angels in a three-game series, with standout performances from Brent Rooker and Lawrence Butler. Rooker went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a stolen base, and a walk in the series finale, while also hitting his 16th home run earlier in the series. Butler contributed with a three-run homer and a key mechanical tweak that improved his hitting. The Athletics' pitching staff, including Mitch Spence and JP Sears, delivered strong outings to secure the wins. The Angels, struggling with injuries and inconsistent performances, were shut out in consecutive games and saw their losing streak at the Coliseum extend to six games.
