CINCINNATI (AP) --- Nathaniel Lowe hit a three-run double in a four-run first
inning, and the Cincinnati Reds stopped a three-game losing streak with a 7-3
victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday.
New Angels manager Kurt Suzuki was ejected for the first time in the eighth
inning when Logan O'Hoppe was called out for interference for not staying in
the runner's box while heading to first base on a strike three pitch that
bounced to the backstop.
Suzuki had left the dugout in the sixth to argue Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson
did not properly execute a ABS challenge.
Elly De La Cruz had three hits for the Reds.
Pierce Johnson (1-1) pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings for his first win with the
Reds after starter Brandon Williamson walked a career-high six while allowing
three runs in four innings.
Angels rookie right-hander George Klassen (0-1), making his second big league
start, left in the third inning because of a bruised nail on his right index
finger. He allowed five runs, five hits and five walks.
Los Angeles reliever Brent Suter got 11 outs with 39 pitches.
Sal Stewart's RBI single on a one-hopper off the glove of first baseman Nolan
Schanuel and Lowe's double built a 4-0 lead, and Spencer Steer homered off the
left-field foul pole in the second inning.
Schanuel's RBI grounder and Mike Trout's two-run double cut the deficit to 5-3
in the fourth.
Cincinnati scored on a pair of run-scoring wild pitches in the eighth by Chase
Silseth, who had three wild pitches and four walks while getting one out.
Up next
Angels RHP Jos Soriano (3-0, 0.45) and Reds LHP Andrew Abbott (0-1, 3.18)
start Sunday's series finale.
