Struggling Angels fall short against A's, 5-4

(AP) — Angels manager Mike Scioscia knows his team's disappointing start has left them 11 games under .500 and 16 games behind Texas in the AL West. The A's scored all four of their runs against Lincecum in the second inning, the big blow a three-run homer from A's shortstop Marcus Semien. Khris Davis added a solo home run, his 17th on the season, off reliever Deolis Guerra in the fifth for what proved the winning run. Bandy pulled the Angels within one in the bottom of the ninth with a two-run homer — his first of the season — off Oakland's Sean Doolittle, but the reliever got the final two outs to earn his fourth save of the season. Home plate umpire Paul Emmel was hit in the top of his head by Jefry Marte's bat with two outs in the ninth when the pinch-hitter lost control of it on a follow-through. The Angels said after the game, their training staff had stopped the bleeding and Emmel — fully alert — was being taken to a hospital for stitches. With 10 players on the disabled list, Oakland expects to get OF Josh Reddick (left thumb fracture) back on Monday.
