Mourning Angels Produce Shutout, End Padres' Win Streak
The Padres bring an eight-game win streak and a .267 batting average into their first meeting with the Angels this season.
The Los Angeles Angels snapped the San Diego Padres' eight-game winning streak Friday night with an 8-0 victory, as Yoán Moncada and Josh Lowe homered.
Pitcher Jose Soriano improved to 5-0, lowering his ERA to 0.28 while striking out eight, with Moncada's home run sparking a three-run rally in the second inning.
San Diego starter Matt Waldron yielded six runs on eight hits in his season debut, marking only the second loss for the Padres in two weeks.
Before the first pitch, Angel Stadium honored former outfielder Garret Anderson with a tribute video and moment of silence following the announcement of his death at 53.
On Saturday, the Padres' starter faces Yusei Kikuchi of the Halos, who enters with a 7.50 ERA as the series continues in Anaheim.
