 Oakland has a 17-9 edge in this series since the start of last season, though the Angels won two of three games when they last met from August 10-12 in Anaheim.

 Oakland's 18-8 record is the best in the American League, and the best 26-game start by the franchise since being 20-6 in 1990 -- a year the A's would go on to win the third of three straight AL pennants.

 Los Angeles has dropped seven of its last eight games, allowing six or more runs in all eight games (7.5 per game). That's the longest streak in team history of allowing six or more runs, surpassing a seven-gamer in April 2003.

 Through 12 games this year, Anthony Rendon was batting .103 (4/39) with one home run, four RBI and a .569 OPS. In 10 games since then starting with an August 10 meeting with the A's, Rendon is batting .486 (18/37) with five homers, 11 RBI and a 1.531 OPS.

 Matt Olson (9) and Matt Chapman (8) are one of two MLB teammate duos with at least eight home runs apiece this year, along with the Yankees' Luke Voit (10) and Aaron Judge (9). They both went deep -- including two homers by Chapman -- in yesterday's 5-1 win over Arizona, accounting for all five runs.

 Since joining the A's in August 2018, Mike Fiers has gone 22-7 with a 4.07 ERA. Since the franchise moved to Oakland in 1968, the only pitchers to win at least as many games through their first 30 decisions with the A's are Vida Blue (25-5) and Tim Hudson (24-6).

HP - Libka, 1B - Reynolds, 2B - Barrett, 3B - Morales

The Oakland A's will host the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday afternoon in the second game of a three-game series, and that by itself might have been enough for A's third baseman Matt Chapman to work his way out of a recent slump.
After all, Chapman has hit Angels pitching quite well this season. After going 1-for-4 with a double Friday in Oakland's 5-3 win over the Angels, Chapman is hitting .303 (10-for-33) with eight extra-base hits against Los Angeles.

Chapman, A's look to keep hitting vs. Angels

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)  The Oakland Athletics are so accustomed to late-game comebacks they were surprised not to pull one off this time against the last-place Angels.
And the A's infield defense has been so steady it was strange to see them commit three errors.
