Trailing by two in the eighth, the Angels plated four runs, all with two outs, off Starling Peralta and Stephen Perakslis. Shortstop prospect David Fletcher hit a two-run single and Gregorio Petit did the same on a grounder that never left the infield, paving the way for Javy Guerra to close it out in the ninth.
Russell hit a solo homer to straightaway center field in the third and Rizzo blasted his own deep into the right-field bleachers in the fourth. But Shoemaker gave up only two other baserunners and struck out four in five innings, an encouraging finish to what was otherwise a rough spring for the 29-year-old right-hander.
