WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) --- Carlos Cortes and Zack Gelof each hit a
two-run homer in the eighth inning as the Athletics rallied past the Los
Angeles Angels 9-7 on Tuesday night.
Cortes launched a drive to right-center off Sam Bachman (1-3) to give the A's a
7-6 lead, and Gelof cemented the comeback from a 6-0 deficit they faced just
two innings before.
Cortes came off the bench as a pinch hitter in the seventh and finished 2 for 2
with a triple and three RBIs. He also scored twice.
Hogan Harris allowed a run in the ninth but earned his 16th save by striking
out pinch-hitter Oswald Peraza with two runners aboard.
Luis Medina (6-3) pitched a scoreless inning for the win as the Athletics
clinched the season series with one game remaining between the bottom two teams
in the AL West.
