Angels 9, Rockies 7
Wednesday at Salt River Fields, Scottsdale, Ariz.
On the mound: In his first start of spring, German Marquez encountered tons of traffic by way of three hits and two walks over two innings. But a double play in each frame, both coming off sliders, helped limit the Los Angeles damage to one run … The Angels kept piling on with four runs off Jeff Hoffman (three hits, two walks) and two more on Carlos Estevez.
At the plate: After Colorado plated five runs in a big second inning, Trevor Story wowed the crowd with his first long ball of spring, a 439-foot no-doubter to left-center off Noe Ramirez … Outfielder Mike Tauchman went 2-for-3 with a couple RBIs.
