OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Oakland Athletics are opening up quite a cushion in the AL West. Josh Donaldson hit a two-run single in a four-run third inning against Oakland nemesis Jered Weaver and the As completed a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels with a 6-3 victory on Sunday. "We played well this series," Donaldson said. "Got some timely hits and we pitched well. I definitely think its one of those series we walk away and feel good about ourselves." Jed Lowrie homered and drove in two runs and Coco Crisp added an RBI double against Weaver (6-4) to give the As their first home sweep of at least three games against the Angels since June 29-July 1, 2004. Oakland leads the AL West by 4 1/2 games over Los Angeles, its largest pre-All-Star break lead since being 5 1/2 up in 1990. "We stubbed our toe this weekend but were looking at the big picture," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Were a good team and our pitchers are a big part of that." The big inning was more than enough support for Sonny Gray (6-1), who allowed a pair of sacrifice flies and an RBI double by Erick Aybar in 6 2-3 innings to rebound from a rare rough start. Gray has 11 quality starts in 12 outings this season for a 2.45 ERA. "We all knew coming in it was tight and they were playing really good baseball and we needed to take care of business at home," Gray said. "The way we were able to put these three games together ... that was awesome." As good as Gray has been this season, Weaver has been even better against the As of late. He allowed just two runs in 44 1-3 innings over six starts the past two seasons against Oakland, proving to be the one Angels pitcher who befuddled the As on their way to back-to-back AL West titles. Oakland more than doubled that scoring output in the fourth inning with a rally that got started when Craig Gentry hustled to beat out a potential double play. Gentry went to third on Eric Sogards single and scored on Crisps double. Donaldson added his two-run single and Lowrie capped the inning with a two-out single that made it 4-0. "This is a totally different As club," Weaver said. "They have great pitching, guys who can get on base at the bottom of the order and who can do the little things. I had one inning that got away from me. I wish we played better this series, but it is not the end of the year. Well see them again." Grey escaped a bases-loaded jam by striking out Hank Conger to end the fourth inning before allowing the sacrifice flies to Aybar and Albert Pujols in the fifth. Lowrie, who entered the game in a 4-for-30 slump, hit his solo homer in the bottom of the fifth to put Oakland back up by three and the As added an unearned run in the sixth as Oakland matched its highest scoring output ever against Weaver in 27 career starts. "I think he just left some pitches up," Donaldson said. "He tries to execute up at times, but there are times when he left some off-speed pitches up and that gives us a chance to definitely hit the ball a little bit harder." Grey was replaced by Dan Otero after Aybars two-out double in the seventh made it 6-3. Otero struck out Pujols to end the inning. Luke Gregerson pitched a scoreless eighth and Sean Doolittle struck out the side in order in the ninth for his fifth save in six chances. NOTES: Weaver allowed six runs -- five earned -- and 11 hits in six innings. ... Angels OF Mike Trout missed a second straight game with a stiff back. ... C Stephen Vogt started after being called up from Triple-A Sacramento early in the day to give Oakland another bat with 1B Brandon Moss (right calf) and outfielder Josh Reddick (right knee) day to day with injuries. ...

Unfortunately, they catch the Montreal Canadiens in one of their hottest stretches of the season on a night they will honour one of the franchises most loved players. Catch all the action on TSN Radio in Montreal starting at 6pm et. The Ducks amassed 42 shots Tuesday, yet fell victim to a hot opposing goaltender. That could be their same fate tonight against Carey Price. Montreal (20-10-2) has won three straight behind both Carey Price, who owns a 1.33 goals-against average during that run, and a resurgent offense, which has scored 13 goals in its last three games after managing just 13 in the previous seven. The line of Alex Galchenyuk, Max Pacioretty and Brendan Gallagher led the charge in Montreals 4-1 win over Carolina on Tuesday. Galchenyuk recorded a hat trick with assists on all three goals by Pacioretty. Hes a young guy with a lot of potential, Therrien said of Galchenyuk. Were all aware of that. Games like this one give him confidence. Hes creating good chemistry with Pacioretty, and hes already very used to playing with Gallagher. Montreal had defeated Vancouver and Los Angeles in its two previous games by a combined 9-3 score. That sort of offensive output has been key for the Canadiens, who are 15-1-1 when they score three or more goals, and 5-9-1 otherwise. Moving through a five-game Canadian road trip, the Ducks (21-7-5) had topped Edmonton and Winnipeg before surrendering a season-high six goals in a 6-2 loss to Toronto on Tuesday. Frederik Anderson stopped 16 of 20 shots before he was pulled in the third period. We gave up some easy goals, goals Im sure Freddy Andersen wouldve liked to have back, Andrew Cogliano told Anaheims official site.dddddddddddd Hes been playing great for us and we have to get some goals for him. It was a team effort and we lost. Hopefully we can get going back again in Montreal. There promises to be a charged atmosphere in the Bell Centre on Thursday with the Canadiens set to honor longtime captain Saku Koivu. Koivu, who retired in September, played the final five seasons of his 18-year career with the Ducks after captaining Montreal from 1999-2009. He missed nearly all of the 2001-02 campaign as he battled non-Hodgkins lymphoma, but returned for the seasons final three games. He taught us what the word courage really meant, Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said. He made us better people. Anaheim sits atop the NHL with 47 points, but the team is no stranger to poor defensive performances. The Ducks rank in the bottom half of the league with 2.61 goals allowed per game and have surrendered six goals in a single contest four times. Its their offense - averaging 3.50 goals per game since Dec. 1 - which has usually picked up the slack. Ryan Getzlaf leads the team with 34 points, while Ryan Kesler, Corey Perry and Matt Beleskey have combined for 39 goals. Perry, however, is currently sidelined with a knee injury. Anaheim has lost the last two matchups with Montreal after going 5-0-1 in the previous six.
