In typical spring baseball fashion, this afternoon the Chicago White Sox lost to the Angels, 3-2, after a chaotic weather day. The Angels won two in a row after a resounding defeat on Opening Day, and will leave Rate Field with a series win.
The game started out shaky for Davis Martin, as the Angels scored two runs in the top of the first. Leadoff hitter Taylor Ward reached on a fielding error by Jacob Amaya, and Nolan Schanuel and Mike Trout had back-to-back singles to load the bases. Jorge Soler hit a sacrifice fly to drive the first run in, and old friend Yoán Moncada grounded to second on a near-double play that would have ended the inning; instead, Moncada hustled down the line and was safe at first, scoring the second runner of the inning from third base.
