"Josh Lowe's first career grand slam was all the offense the Los Angeles Angels needed Sunday in a 4-1 victory over the Athletics. Lowe was 10 for 33 with 27 RBIs with the bases loaded during his six-year career, but had only managed two extra-base hits in those situations prior to going deep off starter Aaron Civale in the second inning. Angels starter Sam Aldegheri (3-3) allowed one run and five hits in five innings, striking out four.
