A's beat Angels, finally end series win drought

Published: Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2008

ANAHEIM -- Emil Brown homered and drove in three runs, Rajai Davis had a career-high four hits and the A's beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-5 Wednesday night.

The A's won two of three from the Angels and took a series for the first time in their last 13 attempts since July 7-10, when they won three of four from Seattle.

Huston Street (4-5) retired all five batters he faced after coming on in the sixth and striking out Mike Napoli with two men on.

Rookie Brad Ziegler, who replaced Street as the A's closer, got five outs for his sixth save. The sidearming right-hander ended it by getting Juan Rivera to ground into a double play with runners at first and second.
