THE GAME: The Angels scored two runs in the ninth inning to beat the San Francisco Giants, 2-0, on Monday at Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, Ariz.<\/p>\n
PITCHING REPORT: Right-hander Jos\u00e9 Soriano pitched five scoreless innings, allowing one hit. He did not walk a batter and he struck out four. \u201cHe was pretty good,\u201d Manager Kurt Suzuki said. \u201cHe attacked with his fastball, was hitting with his offspeed, mixed it up really good.\u201d Soriano said he missed about four days of workouts because of an illness since his previous outing. \u201cSometimes when you have your mentality ready for everything, it doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re sick or whatever,\u201d Soriano said. \u201cTry to be ready, and that\u2019s what I did.\u201d The first Angels pitcher to complete five innings this spring, Soriano needed only 60 pitches. He completed his final two innings with just 12 pitches. \u2026 Right-hander Chase Silseth pitched a scoreless inning, working around a double. He threw just 10 pitches, nine for strikes. He induced four whiffs on eight swings. \u2026 Right-hander George Klassen, one of the Angels\u2019 top pitching prospects, pitched three scoreless innings on 34 pitches, with two strikeouts. Klassen\u2019s fastball averaged 98 mph. Klassen, who was hit in the head by a line drive last season at Double-A, went to the ground to avoid a line drive that was caught by shortstop Yolmer Sanchez.<\/p>\n
HITTING REPORT: The Angels used some solid situational hitting to break a scoreless tie with two runs in the ninth. Gabriel Davalillo \u2013 the Angels\u2019 18-year-old catching prospect \u2013 punched a ground ball through the right side with the runner going on a 3-and-2 pitch, putting runners at the corners. After Sanchez drove in the first run, the Angels added an insurance run on Donovan Walton\u2019s squeeze bunt. \u201cThat\u2019s kind of what we\u2019ve been preaching this camp is the little things,\u201d Suzuki said. \u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s going to help us win. We\u2019re going to have pitching, we\u2019re going to play some tight games and we gotta execute.\u201d \u2026 Oswald Peraza had the Angels\u2019 first hit, in the fifth inning, and he was then caught stealing. Peraza also hit a fly ball to the warning track. Peraza is hitting .321 (9 for 28) with a 1.046 OPS this spring. \u2026 Mike Trout was hitless in three at-bats. Trout is hitting .238 (5 for 21) this spring. \u2026 Christian Moore hit a 114 mph line drive right to third baseman Matt Chapman, who doubled Zach Neto off second.<\/p>\n
DEFENSE REPORT: Peraza, the second baseman, charged in to grab a bouncer that deflected off the glove of Soriano, and made a quick throw to get the out at first.<\/p>\n
