The Chicago Cubs defeated the Angels, 13-10, Monday at Tempe Diablo Stadium. The Angels (7-3) have lost three games in a row.
AT THE PLATE: Facing Jake Arrieta, Yunel Escobar led off the the bottom of the first inning with a single but was thrown out trying to steal third. … Jefry Marte hit his second home run in as many days, in the second inning. … The Angels rallied for five runs in the eighth and ninth innings and finished with 15 hits.

EXTRA BASES: Outfielder Eric Young Jr. took an Arrieta fastball off his right shoulder. … Kole Calhoun lost a run-scoring single on a diving catch by Heyward. … Cliff Pennington, the shortstop in Andrelton Simmons’ absence, flubbed a third-inning ground ball for an error.
