The A’s rallied from a two-run deficit with runs in the seventh and eighth innings to knot things up at 3-3.

Los Angeles went ahead 1-0 on Matsui’s double and led 3-1 following a single by Aybar.

Angels starter Jered Weaver took a no-decision, going six innings and allowing one run on four hits with seven strikeouts.
