Gonzalez pitches A's past Angels, 8-0
By JANIE McCAULEY AP Baseball Writer OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Gio Gonzalez pitched six innings to win a season-best third straight start, Kevin Kouzmanoff hit a two-run homer and the Oakland Athletics snapped a four-game losing streak with an 8-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night. Gonzalez (13-8) has a 1.04 ERA over his last four starts and improved to 7-3 at home this season with a 2.59 ERA. The left-hander allowed four hits, struck out six and walked three. Coco Crisp, Rajai Davis and Gabe Gross all hit RBI singles and Jack Cust drew a bases-loaded walk from Angels starter Scott Kazmir (8-13) in the first to put the A's ahead. Kazmir lost his third straight start, fourth consecutive decision and eighth decision in nine.
