Billy Burns has game-winning hit in A's 3-2 win against Angels

OAKLAND - Billy Burns singled with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to lift the Oakland Athletics to a 3-2 victory against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.

The Angels successfully challenged what would have been a game-ending double play in the top of the ninth. A ball hit to right fielder Jake Smolinski was ruled a catch and with pinch-runner Todd Cunningham standing on second, it looked like an easy double play.

Replays clearly showed the ball bouncing into Smolinski’s glove and the play was reversed. Johnny Giavotella followed with a sacrifice fly that tied the game at 2.

Marcus Semien drew a two-out walk from Fernando Salas (3-3) and Smolinski singled him to third to set up Burns’ first career walk-off RBI.

Ryan Madson (3-2) gave up the lead in the ninth and got the victory.

Khris Davis hit a tie-breaking homer in the fourth and Oakland starter Kendall Graveman allowed three hits over seven innings.

Yonder Alonso drove in a run for the A’s, who had lost 10 of their previous 12 games. Danny Valencia added two hits and scored a run.

Kole Calhoun hit a home run for the Angels, who had a two-game winning streak end. The Angels have lost eight of 11.

Graveman was stuck with his third no-decision in a row and is 1-0 over his last five starts.

He gave up Calhoun’s homer and that was it. Graveman walked one and struck out four.

Angels starter Matt Shoemaker allowed two runs - one earned - and six hits. He walked one and struck out seven.

Shoemaker is 2-2 with a 1.82 ERA over his last six starts. He’s recorded 55 strikeouts in 44? innings and walked one.

The A’s scored in the second on Alonso’s sacrifice fly to take 1-0 lead.

Calhoun’s ninth homer of the season, a solo shot with one out in the third, tied it.

Davis led off the fourth with his 16th homer of the year.
