 The A's have gone eight straight games without scoring a run in the first inning and in 81 games on the season, they've have failed to score a first-inning run 65 times -- most in the AL. As a team, they're batting a major league-worst .186 in the first and are last in the AL in first-inning scoring with 25 runs.

 Matt Chapman hit his 19th homer of the season Wednesday at St. Louis, his first on the road since May 20. On the year, he has a 1.106 OPS at home compared to a .675 OPS on the road. That difference of .431 is the biggest among AL batting qualifiers (with home OPS being better).

 Marcus Semien had a career-best 15-game road hitting streak -- during which he slashed .364/.408/.621 -- end Wednesday. On the season, he has reached base 132 times, the most by an Oakland batter through 82 games since Josh Donaldson got on 133 times in 2013.

 The Angels, who are coming off a two-game sweep of the Reds, are 14-21 (.400) against AL West teams and 27-19 (.587) against teams outside their division. Their pitching staff has a 5.46 ERA in division games and a 4.54 ERA in all others.

 Mike Trout has been phenomenal after the count reaches 2-0, slashing .543/.734/1.143 -- all MLB highs among the 97 batters with at least 40 plate appearances in such situations. His 1.877 OPS after 2-0 counts is the best in a single season by any batting qualifier in the pitch-count era (1988).

 Tommy La Stella has 16 homers at the season's midpoint to become the first Angels middle infielder with 16 home runs through 81 games since Bobby Grich had 16 in 1981. La Stella, with 26 strikeouts, also joins Don Baylor from 1979 (17 HRs, 27 Ks) as the only Angels with at least 15 home runs and fewer than 30 strikeouts through 81 games.

HP - Cuzzi, 1B - Visconti, 2B - Nelson, 3B - Baker

The Oakland A's have reached uncharted waters this season. The Los Angeles Angels aren't far behind.
The A's are five games over .500 for the first time in 2019, and the Angels can climb to a season-best two games clear of the break-even mark with a win against Oakland in the opener of the teams' four-game series on Thursday night in Anaheim, Calif.

A's, Angels on rise ahead of series clash

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)  Shohei Ohtani and Kole Calhoun provided the big hits for the Los Angeles Angels, but they weren't the only ones to contribute.
Ohtani and Calhoun each hit two-run homers, but every player in the lineup had at least one hit as Los Angeles beat the Oakland Athletics 8-3 for its fourth straight win.
