over the Angels
PHOENIX (AP) --- Corbin Carroll hit a grand slam, Eduardo Rodriguez earned his
100th career win on the mound and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Los Angeles
Angels 8-1 on Wednesday.
The D-backs won two of three games in the series.
Carroll's fifth career grand slam landed just over the right field wall, giving
the D-backs a 5-1 lead in the second inning. It was the two-time All-Star's
13th homer of the season.
Rodriguez (6-2) scattered six hits and three walks, giving up just one run over
his seven innings. The veteran left-hander struck out five, lowered his ERA to
2.45 for the season and became just the ninth Venezuelan-born pitcher to reach
100 wins in the big leagues.
Ketel Marte added a two-run double while rookie Tommy Troy had two hits ---
including a triple --- and two RBIs. Gabriel Moreno contributed a three-hit day
and reached base four times.
Angels left-hander Sam Aldegheri (2-2) lasted just three innings and gave up
six runs. Shortstop Zach Neto led off the game with a solo homer. It was Neto's
15th long ball of the season and second in two days.
Up next The D-backs host the Twins for a three-game series beginning Friday. Arizona sends RHP Michael Soroka (8-3, 3.11) to the mound while the Twins counter with LHP Connor Prielipp (2-4, 5.26) in the first game. The Angels travel to face the Athletics in a four-game series starting Thursday. Pitching matchups haven't been announced. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb |
