MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Brandon Woodruff pitched five solid innings, Sal Frelick hit
a three-run homer and Blake Perkins tied a career high with five RBIs to lead
the Milwaukee Brewers to a 9-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday
night.
Woodruff (7-2) gave up two hits and one run, struck out nine and threw 52 of
his 69 pitches for strikes. He was pitching on 10 days rest to manage his
workload after he missed last season while recovering from right shoulder
surgery.
Angels starter Jos Soriano (10-11) exited with one out in the second after
being struck by a line drive off the bat of Jake Bauers. Soriano sustained a
right forearm contusion. X-rays were negative.
Connor Brogdon came on in relief and gave up an opposite-field single to Blake
Perkins that drove in a pair. Frelick's three-run homer later in the inning
gave the Brewers a 5-0 lead.
Taylor Ward provided the Angels offense with homers in the fourth and sixth.
The Angels (69-83) have lost six straight, while the major league-best Brewers
(93-59) have won four of five.
Key moment After Soriano departed, the switch-hitting Perkins, batting left-handed, came up next and hit a grounder between shortstop and third on a 2-2 pitch from Brogdon to get the Brewers on the board.
Key stat Mike Trout remains stuck on 399 career home runs after going 0 for 4 with three strikeouts. Trout has homered just twice since Aug. 6, the last coming on Sept. 11.
Up next LHP Yusei Kikuchi (6-11, 4.08 ERA) starts for the Angels against Brewers RHP Quinn Priester (13-2, 3.25) in the series finale Wednesday. ------ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB
