Cespedes, A's send Angels to worst start

Yoenis Cespedes drove in four runs, Seth Smith knocked in three with a bases-loaded double and the Oakland Athletics beat the Los Angeles Angels 10-6 on Tuesday.

Seth Smith's Specialty: The 3-run Double

From Elias: Seth Smith stroked a three-run double, turning a 6-3 lead into a 9-3 lead as the Athletics made it five straight wins over the Angels this season by winning, 10-6, on Tuesday night. It was the third time since last year's All-Star Break that Smith has hit a three-run double, the most by any major-leaguer over that stretch. Which do you think you see more of in the majors: three-run doubles or grand-slam homers? Last year, there were 104 grand-slam homers, as opposed to 72 three-run doubles. But through the end of April this season, there had been 13 of each.
