ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Walbert Urea pitched three-hit ball over six innings
and Wade Meckler hit a two-run homer off Milwaukee ace Jacob Misiorowski as the
Los Angeles Angels beat the Brewers 3-0 on Sunday.
Urea (7-7) struck out seven and walked three as the Angels snapped a five-game
losing streak. The rookie right-hander has a 2.54 ERA this season and a 2.25
ERA since May 1, a stretch in which he has allowed one or fewer earned runs in
12 of 16 starts.
Angels reliever Ryan Zeferjahn replaced the injured Sam Bachman with a runner
on second and one out in the eighth. He struck out Brice Turang, gave up an
infield single to Jackson Chourio and struck out Garrett Mitchell with runners
on first and third to end the inning.
Zeferjahn then struck out two of four batters in the ninth for his fourth save.
Misiorowski (11-5) gave up two hits in seven innings, striking out 10 and
walking one. Misiorowski extended his franchise record of double-digit
strikeout games to 10 while throwing 66 of his 83 pitches for strikes.
The game was a matchup of two of the hardest throwing starters in baseball.
Misiorowski and Urea each struck out the side on 10 pitches in the first and
the pair combined to throw 10 pitches at 100 mph or more.
Vaughn Grissom hit a 91-mph slider to center for a leadoff single, and Meckler
followed by driving a 95-mph cutter 388 feet to right for his third homer of
the season and a 2-0 lead.
Misiorowski then retired 16 straight batters before issuing a two-out walk to
Jo Adell in the seventh.
The Angels added an insurance run off Brewers left-hander DL Hall in the eighth
when Denzer Guzman walked, took second on a groundout, third on a wild pitch
and scored on Zach Neto's two-out RBI infield single.
Up next
Brewers RHP Brandon Sproat (3-6, 5.05 ERA) will face Pirates RHP Bubba Chandler
(3-8, 4.56) Monday in Milwaukee.
The Angels have not named a starter for when they open a series in Baltimore on
Tuesday. The Orioles have not named a starter.
