First highlight of the game was Mike Trout stealing another base. Jo Adell got the only hit of the game through three when he singled in the second. Neto and Lowe walked. So far at that point it was a combination of a pitcher’s duel and a mild LOBster dinner. 0-0 tie through three.
For the middle innings, the Angels had men at second and third with one out in the top of the fifth thanks to a double by Oswald Peraza. Zach Neto sruck out. Mike Trout was walked to load the bases with two outs. Nolan Schanuel grounded out to short. Grumble grumble. In the sixth, the Angels got men at second and third with no outs thanks to a Soler walk and a double by Jeimer Candelario. After two frustrating outs, Logan O’Hoppe singled in two runs. 2-0 Angels.
Jose Soriano flashed some leather in the fourth inning.
Jeimer Candelario also made a nice defensive play in the bottom of the fifth.
Oswald Peraza had a pretty big night with a double, a single, and a walk.
The Angels won 2-0 in a close game.
