Zach Neto's two-run homer in the ninth gave Los Angeles a 2-1 win over the Athletics and erased a one-run deficit moments after Lawrence Butler's pinch-hit RBI single put Oakland ahead.
Adam Frazier opened the ninth with the Angels' first hit off J.T. Ginn, who had been perfect through 4 1/3 innings and finished with 10 strikeouts over 105 pitches.
Walbert Ureña kept the Angels in it with six scoreless innings, and Chase Silseth escaped a bases-loaded jam in the ninth by getting Nick Kurtz to ground into a game-ending double play.
The victory was the Angels' third walk-off win this season and came despite being outhit 7-2, while Kurtz extended his on-base streak to 41 games, tied for the sixth-longest in Athletics history.
