Wade Meckler<\/a> and Nick Madrigal each had four of the Angels<\/a>\u2019 16 hits, Walbert Ure\u00f1a pitched six solid innings and the Angels beat the Colorado Rockies 11-4 on Wednesday<\/a> night.<\/p>\n

Meckler is batting .389 (14 for 36) with two homers and 10 RBIs since he was recalled from double-A on May 22.<\/p>\n

Vaughn Grissom added a homer and three RBIs, and Oswald Peraza had two hits and two RBIs to help the Angels \u2014 who tied their season high with the 16 hits \u2014 avoid a three-game sweep.<\/p>\n

Ure\u00f1a (3-4) gave up three hits and three runs. He struck out seven and walked three, cooling a Colorado lineup that scored 39 runs in its previous five games. The 22-year-old right-hander, who moved from the bullpen to the rotation in mid-April, has a 2.08 ERA in his last seven starts.<\/p>\n

The Angels bunched six hits in a six-run second, the rally featuring Jose Siri\u2019s RBI double and RBI singles by Logan O\u2019Hoppe, Grissom and Peraza. Two runs scored on wild pitches by Michael Lorenzen (2-8), who gave up eight runs and 10 hits in 3 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

The Rockies cut it to 6-1 on back-to-back doubles by Hunter Goodman and Troy Johnston in the fourth, but the Angels countered with Grissom\u2019s two-run homer in the bottom of the inning for an 8-1 lead.<\/p>\n

Colorado pulled to 8-3 in the fifth on Tyler Freeman\u2019s two-run homer, but the Angels answered again in the bottom half on Jo Adell\u2019s RBI single for a 9-3 lead. Doubles by Meckler and Peraza and Madrigal\u2019s RBI single pushed the lead to 11-3 in the sixth.<\/p>\n

Relievers Drew Pomeranz, Ryan Zeferjahn and Kirby Yates covered the final three innings for the Angels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wade Meckler and Nick Madrigal each had four of the Angels\u2019 16 hits, Walbert Ure\u00f1a pitched six solid…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":346306,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[1426,142026,1049,10664,14931,48,52,51,5814,79122,47,50,49,67952,67954,6134,67202,2668,142025,49991,72637],"class_list":["post-346305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-angels","tag-back-to-back-double","tag-hit","tag-homer","tag-hot-start","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-lead","tag-logan-ohoppe","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-nick-madrigal","tag-oswald-peraza","tag-rbi","tag-rockies","tag-run","tag-solid-innings","tag-vaughn-grissom","tag-wade-meckler"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=346305"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346305\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/346306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=346305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=346305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=346305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
