ANAHEIM, Calif. Philip Rivers Jersey . -- Not even Sundays champagne-soaked celebration of another division title could knock the Oakland Athletics off their soaring trajectory toward the playoffs. Jed Lowrie hit a three-run homer, Brandon Moss added a two-run shot and the As kept rolling into the playoffs with their fifth straight victory, 10-5 over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night. Tommy Milone pitched into the sixth inning and Seth Smith had an early RBI double for the AL West champions, who have won 11 of 13. Oakland could have been excused for signs of a hangover from Sundays home finale and the resulting party in the Coliseum clubhouse, but thats not how this increasingly remarkable team operates. "Just because we clinched yesterday, that doesnt mean were not going for more," Milone said. "Home-field advantage, whatever it is. Were not going to stop." Seven As drove in a run at the Big A as Oakland (94-63) moved to a season-high 31 games over .500 with the majors second-best record, just behind Boston (95-62). If the As can catch the Red Sox over the final five games, theyll have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. "Thats whats great about this team," Lowrie said. "Were doing a good job of staying steady. It carried over to today, even after the celebration last night. ... Were just going to go out there and do what weve done all year. Wherever that puts us, thats where we end up, and thats where we should be." The As have scored 49 runs in their last five games, and the offensive barrage didnt let up after the club clinched its second consecutive division title Sunday. Lowrie hit his 15th homer in the third inning in Anaheim, and Moss followed with his 28th in the fifth. "They play the same regardless, every day," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "Whether its a tough loss, whether its a win, whatever. Any time you can get home-field advantage, its important, but were just focused on winning as many games as we can, and if that happens, then its a good thing." Milone (12-9) struck out eight while giving up five hits and two earned runs in his second start since Aug. 27. He pitched two innings of relief last Friday, but got this spot start in A.J. Griffins place. Howie Kendrick homered and hit a three-run double for the Angels (76-80), who have lost two straight after winning 21 of 28. They hadnt lost by more than three runs since Sept. 3, but couldnt keep up with Oakland in the opener of the final home series of the season. "Whether we get to .500 or not, were just trying to win ballgames," Kendrick said. "Theyre a good team, and they made the post-season. Tonight they came up with a couple of long balls and went up early. We came back and still had a lot of fight." Garrett Richards (7-7) gave up eight hits and seven runs while failing to get out of the fifth inning in his worst start since joining the Angels rotation full-time in late July. The right-hander got rocked in his final home audition for a rotation spot in 2014, giving up the most runs he has allowed in 12 starts taking Joe Blantons spot. "I was just a little off tonight," Richards said. "Those guys came out hacking, and they barrelled up a lot of balls early and kind of caught me off guard. I didnt give us a chance to win, but Im not discouraged by it." Josh Reddick, Smith and Stephen Vogt delivered consecutive two-out hits off Richards in the second inning, scoring two runs. Kendrick replied in the bottom half with his first homer since July 6. The Angels second baseman missed 33 games with a hyperextended left knee, but has hits in eight of his nine games since returning. Coco Crisp and Josh Donaldson then opened the third with singles before Lowries homer into the elevated right-field stands. Los Angeles loaded the bases in the third on Kole Calhouns walk, and Mike Trout struck out before Kendrick pounded a line drive high off the wall in right, matching his season high with four RBIs. Oakland kept piling on with Moss homer and Eric Sogards RBI single in the sixth. Former Angels infielder Alberto Callaspo had an RBI single for the As in the ninth. After going 1 for 10 in last weekends series against Seattle, Trout struck out three times against Milone before beating out an infield single in the eighth. He is 13 hits shy of 200 for the season. NOTES: Angels 1B Mark Trumbo, stuck in an 0-for-16 slump, drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth. ... Griffins start was pushed back to Tuesday against Los Angeles LHP Jason Vargas. Angels ace Jered Weaver is expected to make his scheduled start Wednesday after missing last weeks turn with tightness in his forearm. ... Angels RHP Tommy Hanson made his first career relief appearance in the seventh, pitching 2 1-3 innings in his first action since a demotion to Triple-A Salt Lake in mid-August. Brandon Mebane Jersey . Ramon, 30, played in a career-high 97 games with the Goldeyes in 2013. He also matched a career-high eight home runs and posted 52 RBI.

Its pretty hard to avoid asking it like this, so here goes: Didnt it do your heart good to see Erik Compton qualify for the Masters with his runner-up finish at the U-S Open?4. Already charged with killing three men, Aaron Hernandez is also charged with threatening to kill a jail guard and his family and with assaulting a handcuffed inmate. Of course, we presume Hernandez is innocent until proven guilty, but what are the chances hes innocent on all counts?5. I say this every time a new team picks a nickname that doesnt seem to fit—"Well get used to it". So are we comfortable yet with "Ottawa Redblacks"?6. And not to pick on Ottawa, but what are the chances that Erik Karlsson will play his entire career as a Senator? When Daniel Alfredsson leaves one year and Jason Spezza asks to leave the next, and when the sagas of Dany Heatley and Alexei Yashin are remembered, it makes you wonder, doesnt it?7. You know how Oscar recipients react with that "I never expected to win" expression? That was USA soccer coach Jurgen Klinsmann at the 32-second mark vs. Ghana. The difference?

Would you like to pass on some sound advice to the general manager of your favourite NHL team? Tell him to spend a lot more time thinking about what to do on draft day than on July 1st. Use the Los Angeles Kings as an example of a team built largely with draft picks and players acquired in trades and hardly at all with free agents.10.

How do you argue that a pitchers win total is a meaningful stat when Randy Choate of the St. Louis Cardinals records a win by throwing one pitch? Well, you argue that Choates one pitch got the Cardinals out of a bases-loaded jam in a 1-1 tie and it was the most important pitch of the game….I guess.14.

The National League may be a pitchers league, but can you name a pitcher who is about to face Gregory Polanco, Starling Marte and Andrew McCutchen 1-2-3 in the Pittsburgh Pirates batting order who would feel confident?19.
