Spring training: Seattle 10, Angels 6

Share

Seattle 10, Angels 6

AT THE PLATE: Matt Long is a longshot to make the team, but he’s making a good impression. The outfielder followed a four-hit game Monday with a three-hit, two runs-batted-in game and is batting .542 (13 for 24) this spring. Mike Trout and Albert Pujols hit back-to-back run-scoring doubles in the second, the speedy Trout turning what appeared to be a single to left-center into a double. Erick Aybar drew his team-leading seventh walk of the spring.

ON THE MOUND: Reliever Kevin Jepsen had a rough sixth inning, allowing two runs and two hits, walking two and balking a runner from first to second. Fernando Salas threw a scoreless seventh, but left-hander Nick Maronde retired only one batter in a three-run eighth, and Clay Rapada gave up four runs — three earned — and three hits in a four-run ninth.

EXTRA BASES: Seattle starter Scott Baker hit three straight batters — Pujols, David Freese and Howie Kendrick — with pitches in the first, but two were on breaking balls that slipped out of his hand. … Left-hander Hector Santiago will start Wednesday in a split-squad game against Milwaukee, and right-hander Joe Blanton will start the split-squad game against Texas.

UP NEXT: Angels (SS) vs. Milwaukee at 1 p.m. at Tempe Diablo Stadium; Angels (SS) vs. Texas at 1 p.m. at Surprise Stadium. On the air: TV: FS West; Radio: 830, 1330.
