Rookie starters get nod as Angels face White Sox in series finale
Noah Schultz makes his fifth career start as the White Sox seek the series win behind a 2.53 ERA and a 20-strikeout season.
On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Chicago White Sox 4-3 in Anaheim, relying on solo home runs from Mike Trout, Jorge Soler, and Zach Neto to secure the victory.
Chicago jumped to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning against Angels starter Sam Aldegheri, but Trout and Soler tied the game immediately with first-inning home runs.
Trout's first-inning blast marked his 415th career home run and 800th extra-base hit, while Neto's tie-breaking 410-foot home run in the fifth inning ended his 0-for-23 slump.
Working out of a bases-loaded jam in the ninth inning, relief pitcher Ryan Zeferjahn secured his first save of the season after Chase Meidroth's late home run cut the lead.
White Sox pitcher Noah Schultz will face Angels right-hander Walbert Urena on Wednesday afternoon in the decisive contest to conclude the three-game series.
