Colorado Rockies @ Los Angeles Angels
Meckler, Madrigal each have 4 hits in the Angels' 11-4 win over the Rockies
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- — Wade Meckler and Nick Madrigal each had four of Los Angeles' 16 hits, Walbert Ureña pitched six solid innings and the Angels beat the Colorado Rockies 11-4 on Wednesday night.
Meckler is batting .389 (14 for 36) with two homers and 10 RBI since he was recalled from Double-A on May 22.
Vaughn Grissom added a homer and three RBI, and Oswald Peraza had two hits and two RBI to help the Angels — who tied their season high with the 16 hits — avoid a three-game sweep.
Ureña (3-4) allowed three hits and three runs. He struck out seven and walked three, cooling a Colorado lineup that scored 39 runs in its previous five games. The 22-year-old right-hander, who moved from the bullpen to the rotation in mid-April, has a 2.08 ERA in his last seven starts.
The Angels bunched six hits in a six-run second, the rally featuring Jose Siri’s RBI double and RBI singles by Logan O’Hoppe, Grissom and Peraza. Two runs scored on wild pitches by Michael Lorenzen (2-8), who gave up eight runs and 10 hits in 3 1/3 innings.
The Rockies cut it to 6-1 on back-to-back doubles by Hunter Goodman and Troy Johnston in the fourth, but the Angels countered with Grissom’s two-run homer in the bottom of the inning for an 8-1 lead.
Colorado pulled to 8-3 in the fifth on Tyler Freeman’s two-run homer, but the Angels answered again in the bottom half on Jo Adell’s RBI single for a 9-3 lead. Doubles by Meckler and Peraza and Madrigal’s RBI single pushed the lead to 11-3 in the sixth.
Relievers Drew Pomeranz, Ryan Zeferjahn and Kirby Yates covered the final three innings for the Angels.
Angels LHP Reid Detmers (2-5, 4.63 ERA) was set to face Dodgers RHP Roki Sasaki (3-3, 4.59 ERA) Friday night in Los Angeles. Rockies RHP Ryan Feltner (2-1, 4.85 ERA) was scheduled to face Brewers RHP Brandon Sproat (1-4, 6.24 ERA) on Friday night in Colorado.
