Josh Lowe’s first career grand slam leads Angels to 4-1 win over Athletics | Sports

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — 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.
