 This is the fourth straight season that the Angels are playing in Oakland on Opening Day. The Angels are the first MLB team ever to face the same opponent in the same park in four straight season openers.

 The Angels have lost six straight season openers, the longest active streak in the majors and the longest streak in franchise history. Their last Opening Day win was in 2013 at Cincinnati (3-1 in 13 innings). Of the 20 Angels to play in that game, only two are still on the team: Albert Pujols and Mike Trout.

 The Athletics won at least 94 games four times in the past decade: 94--68 in 2012, 96--66 in 2013, 97--65 in both 2018 and 2019. Only the Yankees (5) and Nationals (4) also had as many as four 94-win seasons from 2010 to 2019, but Oakland failed to win a playoff round during that time (including Wild Cards).

 Mike Trout is one of four players all-time to hit 250+ home runs (285) and steal 200+ bases (200) in his first nine seasons, along with Barry Bonds (259 HR, 309 SB), Darryl Strawberry (280 HR, 201 SB) and Willie Mays (279 HR, 204 SB).

 Marcus Semien is expected to make his sixth consecutive Opening Day start for Oakland. The last A's shortstop to start six straight season openers was Bert Campaneris (1967--72), whose streak began in the team's final season in Kansas City.

 For the fourth consecutive season, the Angels have awarded their Opening Day start to a pitcher who won fewer than 10 games in the previous season: 2017--Ricky Nolasco (8--14 in 2016), 2018--Garrett Richards (0--2 in 2017), 2019--Trevor Cahill (7--4 in 2018), 2020--Andrew Heaney (4--6 in 2019).

Having already recorded walk-off and walk-in wins within the first three games of the season, the Oakland Athletics will be looking for a more conventional victory when they go for a series win against the visiting Los Angeles Angels on Monday afternoon.
In a season in which fans were warned that anything could happen, the A's won on opening night with a game-ending grand slam by Matt Olson, then took a lead they never relinquished Sunday when Angels starter Shohei Ohtani walked three straight batters after a game-opening single in a five-run first inning. The 2018 American League Rookie of the Year never recorded an out.

A's look to get jump on Angels in series finale

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)  Mark Canha homered for the first time this season, Chris Bassitt escaped a big jam and the Oakland Athletics beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-0 on Monday as the teams concluded their season-opening wraparound series.
Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons appeared to roll his left ankle when he ran out an infield single in the ninth and landed hard on the bag. He rolled onto the grass clearly in discomfort before exiting for a pinch runner. Manager Joe Maddon didn't have an immediate update afterward.
