The Los Angeles Angels defeated the Athletics 4-1 on Sunday at Angel Stadium. Josh Lowe hit his first career grand slam and Sam Aldegheri threw five solid innings for the win.
Josh Lowe delivered the decisive blow in the second inning with a grand slam off Aaron Civale. The outfielder, recently called up from Triple-A, has hit .417 since returning and now has six home runs on the season.
Sam Aldegheri earned the victory after allowing one run over five innings. The left-hander struck out four and walked one while improving his recent form following two difficult outings.
Samy Natera Jr. recorded his first career save by pitching the final four outs. He retired Nick Kurtz on a flyout in the eighth before closing out the ninth.
Manager Kurt Suzuki praised the team's focus amid recent front-office changes, including the dismissal of general manager Perry Minasian and the arrival of John Mozeliak as interim consultant.
