ANAHEIM, Calif.—Zach Neto smacked a tiebreaking three-run double in the sixth inning, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Oakland Athletics 5–2 Wednesday, June 26, to sweep their three-game series.

Max Schuemann had an early RBI double that should have driven in two runs for the A’s, but Kyle McCann was called out in bizarre fashion when he failed to touch home plate and then made contact with teammate Armando Alvarez, who had already scored.
