Kyle Bradish dominates for 8 innings as Orioles roll to 6-1 victory over Angels

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Kyle Bradish pitched eight shutout innings, Taylor
Ward hit a leadoff home run against his former team and the Baltimore Orioles
extended their winning streak to three games Monday night with a 6-1 victory
over the Los Angeles Angels.
Coby Mayo hit a three-run homer and Bradish (5-7) struck out nine as the
Orioles improved to 4-3 on a nine-game trip.
Bradish allowed six hits and one walk. He has 21 strikeouts over his last two
starts.
Baltimore was already without second baseman Jackson Holliday (groin) when
third baseman Blaze Alexander (knee) exited in the third --- leaving outfielder
Leody Taveras to play third for the first time in seven seasons. Taveras
finished with two hits.
Jorge Soler homered late for the Angels in his return from the injured list,
but Sam Aldegheri (2-3) gave up five runs and five hits over 4 2/3 innings. Los
Angeles had scored 27 runs over its previous three games.
Ward, playing his first game at Angel Stadium as a visitor following an
offseason trade, hit the fourth pitch from Aldegheri 419 feet over the wall in
center field. It was his 56th career home run at Angel Stadium.
The Angels then saluted Ward, a member of the major league team for eight
seasons, with a tribute video in the middle of the first inning.
Baltimore made it 4-0 in the fourth on Mayo's three-run homer and scored again
in the fifth on Pete Alonso's sacrifice fly. Gunnar Henderson added an RBI
triple in the seventh that made it 6-0.
Rico Garcia gave up Soler's homer in the ninth.
Baltimore is 21-6 against the Angels since 2022.
Up next
Orioles RHP Shane Baz (4-7, 4.04 ERA) faces RHP Ryan Johnson (0-2, 12.83) in
the middle game of the series Tuesday.
