A's lose third straight, fall 4-0 to Angels

The one hitter Weaver never had to face has made all the difference for Oakland this season.

Yoenis Cespedes did not start for the second time in three games as he recovers from a right wrist sprain. After sitting out Saturday, he went 0 for 4 on Sunday, and Melvin said Cespedes' wrist bothered the outfielder in his final two at-bats. Cespedes is day to day.

The A's are 46-29 when Cespedes starts and 12-22 when he doesn't.

NOTES: The Angels optioned SS Andrew Romine to Triple-A Salt Lake to clear space for Aybar on the roster. ... Oakland SS Cliff Pennington (left elbow) was scheduled to play three more games with Triple-A Sacramento and could rejoin the A's by the weekend. ... Oakland RHP Bartolo Colon (8-8, 3.55 ERA) takes the mound opposite against Angels lefty C.J. Wilson (9-7, 3.27 ERA) on Tuesday.
