Willie Calhoun has homer among his 3 hits as Angels rally past Padres
THE GAME: Willie Calhoun had a home run among his three hits, Logan O’Hoppe and Miguel Sano hit back-to-back homers and the Angels rallied for a 5-3 victory over the San Diego Padres on Friday in Peoria, Ariz.
PITCHING REPORT: Left-hander Reid Detmers walked four in 1⅔ innings and called his rough spring debut a case of the “jitters,” vowing to be better in his second outing next week. … Left-hander Matt Moore had two strikeouts during a scoreless inning, while hard-throwing Ben Joyce gave up two hits and two walks in an inning of work, but gave up just one run.
HITTING REPORT: Calhoun showed his bat remains quick with a home run to right field in the second inning and adding two singles. … O’Hoppe’s second hit of the spring was a drive that just cleared the left-field wall in the sixth and Sano followed with a deep drive to left. … Kyren Paris had two hits.
CIRCUS CATCH: Angels first baseman Hunter Dozier did his best to get under a foul ball down the right-field line in the fifth inning, but he was unable to make the catch, instead batting the ball in the air. Paris, the second baseman, trailed the play and also bobbled the ball before finally making the catch for the out with his bare hand.
UP NEXT: Angels (RHP Jose Soriano) vs. Diamondbacks (LHP Logan Allen), Saturday, 12:10 p.m., Bally Sports West, 830 AM
