OAKLAND, Calif. — Matt Olson homered for the second straight game, James Kaprielian tossed six scoreless innings and the Oakland Athletics beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-0 on Tuesday to sweep a two-game series.
Kaprielian (5-3) scattered five hits and two walks, striking out seven. The rookie right-hander lowered his ERA to 2.65.
"I think we did a good job of staying in attack mode," Kaprielian said. "I believe in the guys who are behind me, I believe in the guy who's behind the dish and I believe in my stuff. So, for me, it's about executing pitches."
