ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Gunnar Henderson continued his hot streak at the plate
with three hits and three RBIs and the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Los
Angeles Angels 6-5 on Wednesday despite Mike Trout becoming the first player in
the majors to reach 10 home runs this season.
Batting leadoff for the second straight day, Trout got the Angels on the board
with a solo shot down the left-field line off Dean Kremer (1-2) in the sixth.
It's the third time in the past seven seasons Trout has been the first in the
majors to reach double digits in homers.
That began Los Angeles' rally from being down 6-0 to having the tying run on
first with two outs in the ninth.
With the Angels trailing 6-4, Ehire Adrianza led off the ninth with an infield
single off Orioles closer Craig Kimbrell and advanced to third on second
baseman Jorge Mateo's throwing error. Logan O'Hoppe's grounder drove him in to
get the Angels within a run.
Jo Adell drew a walk with two outs, but was caught stealing second to end the
game. There was a replay review, but the call stood to give Kimbrell his 424th
career save, tied with John Franco for sixth on the all-time list.
Taylor Ward and Zach Neto also homered for the Angels, who have dropped five of
six.
Henderson is 9 of 20 in the last five games. The shortstop, last year's
unanimous choice for AL Rookie of the Year, homered for the second straight
game when he led off the third with a drive off Tyler Anderson (2-3). It was
Henderson's eighth of the season, which is second in the American League.
Adley Rutschman had his 12th multihit game of the year with two hits and an RBI.
Kremer didn't allow a hit until Adell's single with two outs in the fifth. The
right-hander struck out 10 in 5 2/3 innings with two runs allowed on three hits.
After Henderson connected on Anderson's cutter for his third homer this season
against the Angels, he led off the fifth with a double and scored on
Rutschman's base hit.
Baltimore broke it open with four in the sixth as the first five hitters got
aboard against Jos Suarez. After Jorge Mateo's run-scoring, ground-rule
double, Henderson had the key hit with a liner up the middle to plate two more.
Anderson allowed two runs and four hits with four walks and seven strikeouts.
The left-hander threw 105 pitches, the second-most he has tossed in the first
five innings in his nine-year career.
After Nolan Schanuel's base hit chased Kremer in the sixth, Ward hit Jacob
Webb's first pitch just over the outstretched glove at the wall in right-center
to get the Angels within 6-3.
Neto led off the eighth with a first-pitch solo shot to left for his first this
season.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Orioles: Manager Brandon Hyde said LHP John Means (left forearm strain) will
start Sunday's game against Oakland or get another rehab start for Triple-A
Norfolk.
Angels: 3B Miguel San left in the sixth due to left knee soreness.
UP NEXT
Orioles: Return home for three games against Oakland. RHP Corbin Burnes (3-0,
2.76 ERA) gets the call Friday night.
Angels: LHP Patrick Sandoval (1-3, 6.75 ERA) gets Friday night's weekend series
opener against Minnesota.
