ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Rookie right-hander Ryan Johnson gave up one hit over
six scoreless innings, Nolan Schanuel hit an early two-run home run and the Los
Angeles Angels beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-1 on Tuesday night.
In his third career start, Johnson (1-2) carried a no-hitter into the sixth
inning before Jeremiah Jackson hit one-out a line drive single to center field.
Johnson allowed one walk with career highs of eight strikeouts and six innings,
while throwing 90 pitches.
A second-round draft pick by Los Angeles in 2024, Johnson earned his second
career win against a Baltimore offense which combined to score 18 runs over its
previous two games.
Right-hander Shane Baz (4-8) gave up five runs on eight hits over five innings
with one walk and five strikeouts for the Orioles, who had their three-game
winning streak halted.
Baltimore was without second baseman Jackson Holliday (groin) for a third
consecutive game and was also missing utility man Blaze Alexander (knee). The
Orioles fell to 4-4 on a nine-game, three-city trip that ends against the
Angels on Wednesday afternoon.
Schanuel gave the Angels a 2-0 lead in the first inning with a home run off Baz
to right-center field.
Los Angels padded the advantage in the fifth inning when Jose Siri led off with
a single, Zach Neto doubled and Vaughn Grissom followed with a two-run single
to left. Jorge Soler added a one-out sacrifice fly for a 5-0 lead.
With Johnson out of the game, the Orioles broke through in the seventh inning
when Gunnar Henderson singled and Pete Alonso walked against Samy Natera Jr.
Baltimore scored its lone run on a two-out single to center by Leody Taveras
against Chase Silseth.
Up next
Orioles RHP Trey Gibson (1-2, 5.81 ERA) will take the mound in the series
finale Wednesday against Angels RHP Jose Soriano (8-4, 3.03).
