ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Mike Trout, Jorge Soler and Zach Neto hit home runs and Ryan Zeferzahn finished the game with the bases loaded in the ninth inning and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Chicago White Sox 4-3 on Tuesday night.
Zevyan hit a batter and walked two in the ninth before Edgar Cuero retired on a grounder for his first save of the season and third in 10 career chances. The right-hander struck out rookie home run leader Munetaka Murakami (tied with the Yankees’ Aaron Judge for 14th) and added a walk-off single in the eighth inning.
