OAKLAND -- If the Angels were looking for proof positive they can make a late push for the postseason, they got it this week. Los Angeles capped a three-game sweep of the A's -- its first over the NorCal rivals since October 2009 -- with Wednesday's 7-1 win with 15,404 in attendance. "We knew we had to get all three," Angels winning pitcher Dan Haren (10-10) said of the series. "Our will to win these last three games has been different than it has all year.

Against Los Angeles, Oakland never led and got outscored 21-5 in the three games. "It's just baseball," A's catcher Derek Norris said. "If you look at it optimistically, we went .500 on the homestand. We're still right in the mix. If losing three games is the worst thing that happens we'll be OK."...
