BALTIMORE (AP) --- Zach Neto hit a three-run home run to lift the Los Angeles
Angels over the Baltimore Orioles 4-1 in the final game of the series on
Thursday afternoon.
Wade Meckler singled on a ground ball in the third inning that was overthrown
by Orioles starting pitcher Brandon Young at first, advancing him to second.
Nolan Schanuel was then walked to set up Neto's 411-foot homer that went over
the center field wall.
Schanuel hit a sacrifice fly in the seventh for Meckler to score the fourth run
of the game.
Angels pitcher Mitch Farris (1-3) entered the game in the fifth inning in
relief of starter Ryan Johnson. Farris pitched one inning, struck out two and
walked one. Johnson pitched the first 4 2/3, where he walked five and struck
out one. He allowed three hits and one earned run. Samy Natera Jr. earned his
second save after striking out two in the final 1 1/3 innings.
Yohel Pozo hit a solo home run in the third for the only run for the Orioles.
It was his first in an Oriole uniform since coming to Baltimore after getting
claimed off waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals in July.
Young (8-3) pitched 4 1/3 innings in the loss, giving up six hits. He struck
out four and walked two.
