Angels survive a ninth-inning bases-loaded scare to beat Rays 4-3
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Trey Mancini hit a two-run triple to give Los Angeles
an early lead, rookie Sam Aldegheri tossed five strong innings and Ryan
Zeferjahn struck out Cedric Mullins with the bases loaded in the ninth to help
the Angels beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 on Friday night.
Zeferjahn walked Junior Caminero on four pitches after replacing Mitch Farris
with two on and two outs. He struck out Mullins swinging on a 2-2 pitch for his
second save, sealing the Angels' third straight win.
Aldegheri (2-1) allowed two runs --- one earned --- and three hits with three
walks in his second start this season and seventh of his career.
Mike Trout and Jo Adell had back-to-back one-out singles off Shane McClanahan
(6-4) in the first inning and Mancini followed with a two-out triple for a 2-0
lead.
Oswald Peraza led off the third with a double and Nick Madrigal drove him in
with a two-out single, before stealing second and scoring on Logan O'Hoppe's
single for a 4-0 advantage.
Aldegheri allowed a hit and walked two in the first inning, then retired 10
straight before walking Chandler Simpson to start the fifth. Nick Fortes
reached on a fielding error by shortstop Zach Neto and Taylor Walls' bunt
single loaded the bases with no outs.
Aldegheri struck out Yandy Daz looking, but Jonathan Aranda singled to left to
cut it to 4-2. Caminero hit into a double play to end the rally.
Simpson robbed Adell of a homer in the eighth to keep the Rays within two, and
Aranda cut it to 4-3 with a two-out single off Mitch Farris before Zeferjahn
finished.
McClanahan gave up four runs and eight hits in four innings, but struck out
seven. Mason Englert pitched four shutout innings and allowed four hits and two
walks.
U.S. Navy Captain and NASA Artemis II astronaut Victor Glover threw out the
ceremonial first pitch to Trout.
