Harvey pitched solidly in his Angels debut, Andrelton Simmons hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning and Los Angeles beat the Oakland Athletics 6-2 on Friday night for its first victory under new manager Brad Ausmus. “He used all of his pitches, his velocity was up in the mid-90s, he threw some really good curveballs. Harvey was coming off an uneven spring but was sharp in his first start since signing an $11 million, one-year deal with the Angels in December. The Angels managed two hits off starter Marco Estrada and reliever Lou Trivino before scoring four times in the eighth. The Angels placed Upton on the injured list Thursday with hopes of a quick return.
