Angels Sneak By Diamondbacks, 5-4
The Los Angeles Angels defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks, 5-4, in part because of second baseman Joey Ortiz. Ortiz went 1 for 3 with a double and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Angels. The winner was Los Angeles reliever Jesse Chavez, now 1-0. The loser was Seth Martinez. Trevor Megill notched his 2nd save of the season.

Had Ortiz not come through in the top of the eighth, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Ortiz drew a walk, driving in 1 run. The Angels took the lead, 5-4, and never looked back.

Los Angeles manager Noah McKinnon commended his team for "banging out a nice win."

The win gives Los Angeles a record of 2-0.
