Cust, A's Rout Angels 15-8

Posted May 2, 08 12:53 AM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Jack Cust went 4-for-4 with a go-ahead homer that triggered an eight-run fifth inning, while Emil Brown added another four hits and an RBI as the Oakland Athletics beat the Los Angeles Angels 15-8 last night to gain a split of the four-game series. The A's, who beat the Halos 14-2 in Monday's series opener, had 20 hits.

Justin Duchscherer (2-1) allowed six runs - only one earned - and six hits over five innings with six strikeouts in his 200th major league game and eighth career start. The right-hander, making his second start after missing three weeks with a biceps strain, ran his career record against the Angels to 6-0 - although four of those wins came in relief.
