THE GAME: The Angels scored four runs in the first inning on the way to a 7-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday at Tempe Diablo Stadium.
PITCHING REPORT: LH Tyler Skaggs, who was scheduled for 75 pitches or five innings, only got through 12 outs with his 76 pitches. He faced one batter into the fifth inning before being lifted. Although Skaggs was not as efficient with his pitches as he would have liked, he was effective. He gave up just one run on three hits, with no walks. “I was hoping to get one or two outs in the fifth, but I’m very happy about it,” he said.
