ANAHEIM, Calif. — Blake Treinen and the Oakland Athletics’ entire pitching staff were still smarting from their struggles against the Los Angeles Angels’ powerful lineup this season. Marcus Semien had an early two-run single, Jed Lowrie homered and the Oakland Athletics beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-3 on Saturday night. The two-way Japanese sensation homered in each of Los Angeles’ last three games as a designated hitter, including a 449-foot shot Friday against Oakland. The Angels also recalled infielder Ryan Schimpf and right-hander Akeel Morris, who threw 2 1/3 solid relief innings in his Angels debut. He gave up five runs in five innings against the Angels on opening day in Oakland.
