Angels score two on wild pitch and throwing error, beat Phillies 6
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Ehire Adrianza and Mike Trout scored on a wild pitch and throwing error in the seventh inning as the Los Angeles Angels rallied from an early three-run deficit to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 Monday night and snap a four-game losing streak.
Adrianza had two hits and drove in a run, and Jo Adell homered as the Angels won on manager Ron Washington’s 72nd birthday.
“It just happened to be my birthday, but we certainly needed it,” Washington said.
Alec Bohm extended his hitting streak to 13 games and drove in three runs for the Phillies, who had won four straight.
Five Angels’ pitchers held the Phillies to six hits, but also walked nine. Adam Cimber (2-0) got out of a bases-loaded jam in the seventh when he got Brandon Marsh to ground out to end the inning.
“That was the hugest part of the game for both sides,” Washington said. “It saved the game right there and gave us a chance to get back in it.”
