ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Nick Kurtz, Colby Thomas, Carlos Cortes and J.J. Bleday all homered to lead the Athletics to a 17-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night.

Kurtz, the 22-year-old rookie sensation, hit a 447-foot shot to left-center field in the fourth inning off reliever Chase Silseth for his 29th home run this season. Kurtz scored three runs and drew walks in his first two at-bats against Yusei Kikuchi.
