Brent Rooker hit a home run for the second night in a row, and Max Schuemann also went deep for the A's, who will aim for a series sweep on Thursday afternoon. Brett Harris contributed with an RBI single.

Angels starter Davis Daniel (1-1) gave up five runs, four earned, on seven hits and a walk in 5 1/3 innings, striking out three.
