The first few innings didn’t look so hot for the Angels, but facing Mike Minor it was much to be expected. They only managed a single walk and a single hit through the 3rd inning. And while Minor was dealing, Patrick Sandoval had a 2nd inning “hiccup”, allowing a home run to Willie Calhoun and and another from a Delino DeShields double which scored rookie Nick Solak (who also doubled).
Despite rally killer Max Stassi, the Angels got on the board with a pair of runs in the 4th when they sent 6 batters to the plate against Minor.
