The Angels defeated the Dodgers 6-5 in eight innings Sunday in the Freeway Series opener at Angel Stadium.
PLAYING LONG BALL: The two teams combined for six home runs on Sunday, including Taylor Ward’s walk-off solo homer to end the eight-inning game. Max Muncy opened the scoring with a two-run blast to center in the second, then hit another to almost the same spot in the fifth. Gavin Lux and Corey Seager each homered in the third. Juan Lagares had the Angels’ lone homer.
ON THE MOUND: Neither starter, Andrew Heaney for the Angels and Tony Gonsolin for the Dodgers, had particularly clean outings in their final tuneup of the spring.
