ANAHEIM — Brent Rooker hit his 10th home run in July, Seth Brown had three hits and drove in three runs, and the Oakland Athletics secured their first winning month in two years, beating the Los Angeles Angels 5-4 Friday night.
The Athletics were down 4-0 after the first inning and trailed by two going into the fifth before scoring three times. Brown supplied the go-ahead hit with a single down the right-field line to drive in Shea Langeliers. It was originally ruled as a foul ball before being overturned by replay. Brown got the Athletics on the board in the second inning when he connected on a full-count fastball to right-center for a two-run shot. Brown is 14 for 36 with four home runs and eight RBIs in 12 games since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on July 11.
