The playoff-bound Oakland Athletics hadn't lost consecutive games in a month while pushing for the majors' best record. Then they ran into Jered Weaver and the Los Angeles Angels, who relished a chance to slow the A's roll into October. Weaver pitched seven innings of five-hit ball, Josh Hamilton drove in two runs, and the Angels did a bit more damage to Oakland's home-field playoff hopes with a 3-1 victory Wednesday.
