Baltimore Orioles at Los Angeles Angels

Orioles ride Tomoyuki Sugano's strong start and Gunnar Henderson's 2 RBIs to 4-1 win over Angels

Sugano (4-2) used a six-pitch mix to strike out five and walk none during a 93-pitch effort in which he threw 65 strikes.

Yennier Cano replaced Sugano with one out in the eighth and gave up a single to Jo Adell and a walk to pinch hitter Jorge Soler. But the right-hander won a 13-pitch duel with Zach Neto, who fouled off six two-strike pitches before whiffing on a 95-mph sinker.

Felix Bautista struck out two of three batters in the ninth for his seventh save.

Henderson’s first-inning homer came off Angels right-hander Kyle Hendricks (1-4), who gave up three earned runs and six hits in five innings, striking out five and walking three.

Ryan O’Hearn and Tyler O’Neill walked to open the second, and Jackson Holliday’s RBI single pushed the lead to 2-0. Emmanuel Rivera’s RBI single to left made it 3-0.

The Angels cut the deficit to 3-1 in the seventh when Yoán Moncada tripled and scored on Taylor Ward’s groundout.

Key Moment Reid Detmers, who was rocked for 12 runs and 11 hits while retiring one batter in his previous three appearances, relieved Hendricks with two on and no outs in the sixth. The left-hander struck out Holliday, got Laureano to fly to center and Rivera to line out to second to keep the Angels close.

Key Stat Henderson’s fourth homer of the season snapped a streak of 16 straight games in which the Orioles had not scored in the first inning.

Up Next RHP Kyle Gibson (0-1, 14.09 ERA) will start Saturday night’s game for the Orioles against Angels RHP Jack Kochanowicz (1-5, 5.79).
