Angels Rally in 9th to Beat Athletics 2-1 and Break Losing Streak

A dramatic ninth-inning rally ended a pitcher's bid for history and snapped a losing streak Monday night in Anaheim. Oakland Athletics starter J.T. Ginn took a no-hitter into the final inning, but the Los Angeles Angels broke it up and won the game 2-1 on a two-run home run by Zach Neto.

Ginn, a 22-year-old right-hander, was perfect through 4 1/3 innings and had allowed only two baserunners—a walk and a hit batter—through eight dominant frames. He struck out a career-high 10 batters on 105 pitches. The Angels had not managed a hit until Adam Frazier led off the bottom of the ninth with a clean single over shortstop. Neto followed by driving a 2-0 sinker 413 feet to center field for his eighth home run of the season, securing a walk-off victory.

The Angels' win halted a six-game losing streak and marked their third walk-off victory this season. It came despite being out-hit by Oakland 7-2. The game had been a scoreless pitchers' duel until the top of the ninth, when Athletics pinch-hitter Lawrence Butler delivered an RBI single to score Zack Gelof, giving Oakland a brief 1-0 lead.

Angels starter Walbert Ureña kept the Athletics off the board for six innings, allowing four hits....
