OAKLAND, Calif. — Joey Estes pitched Oakland's first individual shutout in more than three years and the Athletics beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-0. Estes (3-3) threw 68 of his 92 pitches for strikes, limiting Los Angeles to five singles and a walk with four strikeouts in the first complete game of his career. The right-hander induced three double plays and struck out Taylor Ward swinging to end the game. It was the 16th complete game in the majors this season, 10 of them shutouts. The last Oakland pitcher to accomplish the feat was Sean Manaea, who blanked the Mariners on June 2, 2021. Brent Rooker and Max Schuemann homered for Oakland.
