Oakland, California: Stephen Piscotty hit a tiebreaking, two-run single with two outs in the sixth inning and the Oakland Athletics held on to beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-4 on Saturday.
Chad Pinder homered and tripled, Marcus Semien also went deep and Jonathan Lucroy drew a bases-loaded walk to help Oakland end its season-high four-game losing streak.
Sean Manaea (6-6) pitched four-hit ball and allowed three runs over six innings.
The left-hander retired the first 12 batters, stumbled through a shaky fifth, then recovered for his first win in more than a month. Chris Young, a late replacement after Angels left fielder Justin Upton was scratched from the starting lineup 40 minutes before first pitch, hit a three-run home run for Los Angeles.
