OAKLAND, Calif. Nike Free Run 2 Sort Dame . -- The entire infield ran to the mound to congratulate Jharel Cotton on a memorable major league debut Wednesday, and he showed the last-place Oakland Athletics a glimpse of a promising future when they beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-1.The 24-year-old right-hander (1-0) looked poised from the moment he stepped on the rubber in the first. Cotton impressed with four pitches, dazzling with his changeup, showing strong command of his fastball and mixing in some solid curveballs and sliders.C.J. Cron homered on a 3-2 pitch leading off the seventh with a drive that tipped off the glove of center fielder Brett Eibner, someone manager Bob Melvin wanted to evaluate at the position.Eibner hit an RBI double and Yonder Alonso and Max Muncy added run-scoring singles to back Cotton.After catcher Stephen Vogt offered an embrace and teammates followed, Cotton jogged off the mound in the seventh and stopped to tip his cap for the sparse crowd on an unseasonably warm September afternoon.Cotton, who became the fourth pitcher in big league history born in the Virgin Islands, allowed one run and two hits over 6 1/3 innings, striking out three and walking two in a 102-pitch performance. He came to the As from the Dodgers at the trade deadline in a deal that sent Josh Reddick to Los Angeles. He nearly tossed a one-hitter in his second start for Triple-A Nashville on Aug. 4, giving the Oakland front office a preview of his potential at the next level.Ryan Madson, Oaklands third reliever, finished for his 29th save.Alex Meyer (0-2) struck out five but walked four in 3 1/3 innings, allowing one run on one hit.He became the 14th different Angels starting pitcher this season.Cotton was the second As starter to make his major league debut in three days, following Raul Alcantaras struggle on Monday.It also marked the second time in Oakland history the As had five starters make their major league debuts in one season, also in 1978. Using the 27th pitcher of the season, the As matched the second-most to appear in a year -- also 1977 and 2009 -- behind 30 in 2015.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: RHP Matt Shoemaker flew home to Southern California from Seattle, three days after taking a line drive to the head and undergoing surgery to stop bleeding on his brain. ... INF Yunel Escobar (left wrist) was scheduled to hit Wednesday. He feels better, manager Mike Scioscia said. Well turn him loose in batting practice and see how he is Friday. ... C Geovany Soto (right knee) continues to progress slowly. Hell be re-evaluated when the Angels return home this weekend.Athletics: With the pitching struggles, the As are looking at going with a six-man rotation. LHP Sean Manaea, who left his Aug. 29 start at Houston with a sore back, has recovered well and is likely to make a start during the teams road trip next week to Kansas City and Texas.UP NEXTAngels: LHP Tyler Skaggs (3-3) starts Friday looking to win his third straight outing on the heels of a three-start skid.
