Expand

ANAHEIM — The Angels were due to eventually have a night like this.

After spending much of the season’s early going scraping for runs or needing to make valiant late comebacks to win games, the Angels finally took an early lead, expanded it later and won without too much stress.

Their 8-5 victory over the Oakland A’s on Wednesday night stretched their winning streak to three games and brought them within a game of .500, at 11-12.

Unlike their previous two victories — each coming by 2-1 scores — this one was marked by hits from all over the lineup.

Cameron Maybin, who brought a .193 average into the game, had three of them. Maybin had hits to center, to left and to right, the first and last coming with two outs and runners in scoring position. His first hit tied the score, 2-2, and the last one drove in two runs to turn a one-run lead into a three-run lead in the seventh.

“Obviously, I think he’s more comfortable in the box right now,” Manager Mike Scioscia said. “Spring training it took a while to get going, but the way he swung the bat tonight is what we saw most of last year, if you look at video. He was hitting the ball all over.”

Maybin had almost a look of relief as he described his best offensive day so far with the Angels. This is a player who began his Angels career with an 0 for 20 in spring training.

“It’s been a lot of hard work since the spring,” Maybin said. “Just continuing to keep the faith, believing in my approach. If you come in every day and do things right, eventually good things will happen.”

He wasn’t the only Angels player whose Wednesday night came as a relief. Kole Calhoun, who had hit .122 over his previous 11 games, followed up Tuesday night’s walk-off single with three more hits.

Jefry Marte, who had been in a 1-for-26 slump and was hitting .132 for the season, had a pair of hits.

And Albert Pujols continued a hot streak. Pujols was hitting .177 when this homestand began on Friday, but he’s now 11 for 27 (.407) in the last six games. Pujols drove in his team-leading 17th run of the season.

All told, the Angels had 14 hits, their most of the season. The eight runs was their second-highest total. When they scored four runs in the seventh inning, it gave them a five-run lead for the first time since April 4, the third game of the season.

With the added cushion, the Angels hoped they could rest some of their more oft-used relievers, specifically Jose Alvarez and Blake Parker. Deolis Guerra took the ball in the eighth and gave up a two-run homer to Matt Joyce, which cut the margin to three.

Scioscia still called on Bud Norris — seemingly his temporary closer — to work the ninth. Norris finished it for his third save in three tries. He preserved the victory for Matt Shoemaker on a night that he followed what has become his pattern this season.

Shoemaker had a rough start before settling down. He gave up two runs in the first, but nothing else through five innings.

He’s now allowed 10 runs in 15 innings covering the first three innings of his five starts, and opponents have hit .300 against him in those innings. After that, he’s settled down and fared much better. He has allowed just four in 11 2/3 and opponents have hit .154.

“One thing with Matt is as his outings have gone on, he’s gotten progressively better,” Scioscia said before the game. “Hopefully we’ll see him get into his game earlier and do some of the things we saw him do during that stretch last year. He has it in him.”

Whicker: Adam Larsson’s offensive breakout helps Oilers beat Ducks in Game 1

ANAHEIM – Adam Larsson, acquired by Edmonton in the off-season to bolster its defense, expanded his role Wednesday night.

Because of that, the Oilers grabbed a 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 Western Conference semifinals over the Ducks.

Larsson put Edmonton ahead, 3-1, but then did his best work with 4:40 left. He surged past Cam Fowler and let a shot go wehen he was just going behind the net. It bounced off the skate of Hampus Lindholm and past John Gibson.

Leon Draisaitl added an empty-net goal to wrap up the 5-3 Edmonton win.

The Ducks thus lost their first playoff game and took their first loss of any kind since a 4-3 OT loss to these Oilers on April 1. They hadn’t lost a regulation game since March 10.

Larsson scored only four goals in 79 games for the Oilers during the regular season but was a plus-21. They got him from New Jersey in exchange for former first-overall pick Taylor Hall.

A tightly played game suddenly took flight in the third period. The Oilers went ahead 3-1 on Mark Letestu’s second power play goal, following a holding penalty by Jakob Silfverberg on Connor McDavid. Then Leon Draisaitl, who scoredf eight points on the Ducks on the regular season, got his third asisst of the game when he fed Adam Larsson.

The Ducks did not waste much time storming back from that two-goal deficit. Patrick Eaves got a tap-in after Brandon Montour’s shot rebounded off goalie Cam Talbot. That play began with Ryan Getzlaf’s clean faceoff win.

Then the Ducks, within a minute, generated an odd-man rush that culminated in Silfverberg’s goal off a shot by Andrew Cogliano. The officials reviewed in but let the goal stand. All that happened in the first 10:57 of the third period.

The Ducks got Cam Fowler back for his first playoff game, but again skated without Sami Vatanen. Then Kevin Bieksa had to leave the ice early in the first period after he collided with Shea Theodore, but came back before the stress built up.

The first period was played chin-to-chin, with few good chances, no odd-man rushes to speak of, and lots of contact. The Oilers’ Matt Benning cleaned out Andrew Cogliano with an elbow, and young defenseman Darnell Nurse had no problem challenging Ryan Getlzaf. The officiating crew was, well, pretty officious, whistling three penalties on each team.

Zack Kassian of Edmonton probably had the best chance, flicking a boucning puck against John Gibson’s shoulder. The top line, featruing Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, was able to get on the ice at times against the Ducks’ fourth line, and Draisaitl drew a penalty against Logan Shaw that way, but a sharp Ducks penalty kill defused that.

When aked about the possibility of rust for the Ducks, who hadn’t played in eight days, Randy Carlyle replied, ‘What rust?” He pointed out that the Ducks had rebounded swiftly from the All-Star break and their mandated week off, and indeed their timing appeared reasonably intact.

There was also a lot of pregame talk about faceoffs, since the Ducks ranked No. 1 in regular season faceoff percentage and Edmonton ranked 30th, or last. Sure enough the Ducks won 12 of 16 faceoffs in the first period, with Getzlaf winning all four of his.

The Ducks inherited a power play when the second period started, thanks to a hooking penalty by Anton Slepyshev, and Getzlaf didn’t let the chance slip away. He powered a drive from the slot past Cam Talbot within the first minute of the period to put the Ducks ahead, 1-0.

Which reminded some of Carlyle’s quote about Getzlaf’s reluctance to shoot: “The coaches tell him to shoot it and his linemates tell him to pass it, so he likes to pass it.” This time he listened to the coaches.

Josh Manson nearly put the Ducks ahead 2-0 when he rushes Talbot, but Edmonton got a handle on the game, thanks to power plays. Nick Ritchie appeared to slip inside the Oilers’ Oscar Klefbom, but the officials called the penalty on Ritchie instead, and the Oilers got a 5-on-3 when Hampus Lindblom was called for high-sticking Leon Draisaitl.

The Oilers tied it when Mark Letestu, a dangerous man in man-advantage situations, scored from Gibson’s right. That was helped by the fact that Getzlaf had broken his stick, so it was essentially a 5-on-2 ½.

But Anaheim survived the rest of the power play, thanks to a gallant effort by Nate Thompson, who dived right in front of a grenade launched by Klefbom. Thompson somehow limped his way off the ice and into the locker room, where he stayed until the end of the period, but his effort would not be easily forgotten.
