José Soriano delivers six shutout innings in Angels' win over Guardians
CLEVELAND — José Soriano threw six scoreless innings, Mike Trout had a hit in his return to the Angels' lineup in a 4-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Friday.
Jo Adell had three hits and an RBI and Jorge Soler hit a solo homer down the left-field line in the ninth inning as the Angels snapped a five-game losing streak.
Cleveland's José Ramírez had his 21-game hitting streak snapped. He drew a walk in the eighth inning to extend his on-base streak to 26 games.
The Guardians, who have dropped four of their last five, avoided a shutout on Nolan Jones' RBI single to right with two outs in the ninth.
It was the third time this season Soriano (4-5) has gone at least six innings and not allowed a run. The right-hander allowed only four hits with two strikeouts and four walks.
Trout, activated off the injured list after he missed 26 games due to a bone bruise on his left knee, lined out to Ramírez at third in his first at-bat before he lined a base hit to left-center in the fourth inning.
Adell singled to right with one out in the second to drive in Soler, who drew a walk off Luis Ortiz (2-6) to lead off the inning.
The Halos added a pair of runs in the seventh when Scott Kingery scored on a passed ball and Soler had a run-scoring single to center.
Key moment: The Guardians had the bases loaded with two outs in the fourth inning, but Soriano got Gabriel Arias to chase a 98 mph sinker for the strikeout.
Key stat: Trout went 1 for 5 and batted fifth as the designated hitter. It was the first time since Sept. 26, 2011, the three-time American League MVP started a game hitting lower than third.
Up next: RHP Kyle Hendricks (2-6, 5.23 ERA) goes for the Angels while RHP Slade Cecconi (1-1, 3.27 ERA) takes the mound for the Guardians.

‘I'm living my worst nightmare right now': Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas eyes 2026 Opening Day for return from injury
Casas ruptured his left patellar tendon running to first base in the second inning of a game against the Twins. He was taken off the field on a stretcher and had surgery two days later. Casas described the injury like being hit with a sledge hammer. 'As of right now, our goal is Opening Day next year,' he said. 'Just going to take it slow.' Advertisement Casas said he would spend the offseason in Fort Myers, Fla., rehabbing with team staff at Fenway South. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Casas played only 63 games in 2024 because of torn rib cartilage in his chest. This season was limited to 29 games. At 25, he's at a career crossroads. 'I had a lot of goals for myself this year that I'm not going to be able to accomplish. So back to the drawing board,' he said. 'I'll have a full off season to recover [and] get back to the caliber of player I hope on being.' Dr. Eric Berkson, the team orthopedist who did the surgery, told Casas that he should make a full recovery. Former major league pitcher Garrett Richards had a similar injury covering first base at Fenway Park while playing for the Angels in 2014. He returned to play in 2015 and pitched for the Red Sox in 2021. Advertisement He contacted Casas and offered advice based on his experience. 'He's been a big help to me mentally, walking me through everything that I was going to feel,' Casas said. 'So I'm really grateful for him and his messages, his kind words to me. He's been awesome.' With his left leg wrapped in a brace, Casas carefully made his way out to the field during batting practice and greeted some fans. He was wearing fingernail polish the same shade of green as the team's new alternate uniforms. 'I'm living my worst nightmare right now,' Casas said. 'This is the worst-case scenario for any type of player to go through a recovery that's double-digits months long. 'But going through it now, I feel like I'm going to be better because of it. It's just part of the game.' Peter Abraham can be reached at
