José Ramírez's hitting streak snapped, Cleveland Guardians fall to Los Angeles Angels 4-1

Ramírez went 0 for 3, but did manage a walk to extend his on-base streak to 26 games. The Guards have dropped four of their last five.

In Cleveland, José Soriano pitched impressively for six innings, helping the Los Angeles Angels clinch a 4-1 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Friday night. Mike Trout made a successful return, contributing with a hit in the Angels’ lineup.

The Angels’ offense was fueled by Jo Adell’s three hits and an RBI, along with a solo home run from Jorge Soler in the ninth inning, breaking their five-game losing streak.

Cleveland’s José Ramírez had his 21-game hitting streak snapped. He drew a walk in the eighth inning to extend his on-base streak to 26 games.

The Guardians, who have dropped four of their last five, avoided a shutout on Nolan Jones’ RBI single to right with two outs in the ninth.

This marked the third occasion this season where Soriano, with a 4-5 record, delivered at least six scoreless innings. The right-handed pitcher limited the Guardians to just four hits while recording two strikeouts and four walks.

Trout, activated off the injured list after he missed 26 games due to a bone bruise on his left knee, lined out to Ramírez at third in his first at-bat before he lined a base hit to left-center in the fourth inning.

Adell singled to right with one out in the second to drive in Soler, who drew a walk off Luis Ortiz (2-6) to lead off the inning.

The Halos added a pair of runs in the seventh when Scott Kingery scored on a passed ball and Soler had a run-scoring single to center.

Key moment

The Guardians had the bases loaded with two outs in the fourth inning, but Soriano got Gabriel Arias to chase a 98 mph sinker for the strikeout.

Key stat

Trout went 1 for 5 and batted fifth as the designated hitter. It was the first time since Sept. 26, 2011, the three-time American League MVP started a game hitting lower than third.

Up next

RHP Kyle Hendricks (2-6, 5.23 ERA) goes for the Angels while RHP Slade Cecconi (1-1, 3.27 ERA) takes the mound for the Guardians.
