José Soriano has short outing in Angels’ loss to Giants – San Bernardino Sun

THE GAME: The Angels gave up eight runs in the first three innings on their way to a 9-5 loss to the San Francisco Giants in a Cactus League game on Sunday in Scottsdale, Ariz.

PITCHING REPORT: Right-hander José Soriano needed 43 pitches to get four outs, which ended his day early. In the first inning, Soriano faced only four hitters, issuing a walk and allowing two hits. He was then pulled. He ended up being charged with three runs, two of which scored with right-hander Michael Darrell-Hicks on the mound. Soriano returned to the mound to pitch a perfect second, with two strikeouts. He didn’t come back for the third because of his pitch-count, which was inflated by a 10-pitch strikeout to Willy Adames in the second. Soriano, who touched 100 mph, said he felt good about his stuff. “I was just working on executing my pitches, and I felt like I was doing it, but they were swinging the bat pretty well,” Soriano said through an interpreter. Manager Ron Washington didn’t feel the same about the outing. “He wasn’t very good today,” Washington said. “Couldn’t get the sinker in the zone to get swings at it. A couple good breaking balls. He was just scattered.” … Right-hander Ryan Zeferjahn pitched a perfect inning. He has worked two scoreless innings this spring. … Shaun Anderson struck out six hitters in two innings. He allowed one run, on a Luis Matos homer. Anderson, a non-roster invitee, has pitched in the majors for seven teams over parts of five seasons.

HITTING REPORT: Logan O’Hoppe had two hits, including an RBI single. O’Hoppe is 5 for 9 this spring. … Christian Moore had an RBI single among his two hits, snapping an 0-for-8 slump. Moore is 5 for 16 this spring. … Tim Anderson led off the game with a single. He then stole second. Anderson is 2 for 14 this spring. … Jorge Soler had two singles, improving to 7 for 13 this spring. … The Angels struck out in 6 of their 10 at-bats against Giants starter Robbie Ray.
