AP: Cust’s homer starts 8-run fifth, A’s beat Angels 15-8

Jack Cust went 4-for-4 with a go-ahead homer that triggered an eight-run fifth inning, Emil Brown had four hits and an RBI and the Oakland Athletics beat the Los Angeles Angels 15-8 Thursday night to gain a split of the four-game series.

Cust, whose two-out error fielding error in left field led to five unearned runs in the Angels’ second inning, gave Oakland a 7-6 lead in the fifth with his second homer of the season and first in 40 career at-bats against Angels pitching.

Los Angeles starter Nick Adenhart, called up from Triple-A Salt Lake after middle infielder Maicer Izturis went on the disabled list with a strained lower back, gave up five runs, three hits and five walks over two-plus innings in his major league debut.

Pitching on three days’ rest, Adenhart got the side out in order in the first but walked four consecutive batters during Oakland’s four-run second.

Of Adenhart’s 37 pitches that inning, 24 were balls. But the Angels grabbed a 5-4 lead in the bottom half with five unearned runs. Cust opened the door with a humiliating two-base error, as Garret Anderson’s lazy flyball popped out of his glove when he camped under it.
