Nolan Schanuel's first career walk-off hit gives Angels 2-1 10-inning win over Athletics
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Nolan Schanuel hit a single into shallow center field in the 10th inning for the first walk-off hit of his career to drive in Jo Adell and give the Los Angeles Angels a 2-1 win over the Athletics on Tuesday night.
Reid Detmers (2-2) struck out two of three batters to strand the automatic runner in the top of the 10th.
Hogan Harris (1-1) took the loss for the A's, who have lost 22 of 26 games.
The Angels trailed 1-0 in the bottom of the eighth when Travis d'Arnaud hit A's left-hander T.J. McFarland's first pitch for a pinch-hit homer and a 1-1 tie.
Angels starter José Soriano allowed one run and two hits and struck out a career-best 12 in seven innings. He walked two. He threw a career-high 110 pitches, 71 for strikes, and induced 22 swinging strikes.
The A's Mitch Spence, making his second start since being moved from the bullpen, gave up three hits, struck out four and walked none in five scoreless innings.
Soriano was virtually untouchable through five no-hit innings in which he racked up nine strikeouts and walked one. He lost his no-hit bid in the sixth when Brent Rooker drove an RBI double to left-center field just beyond the reach of a diving Adell for a 1-0 A's lead.
Veteran right-hander Hunter Strickland, who signed a minor league deal on May 6, escaped a runner-on-second, no-out jam in the eighth and has not allowed a run in 11 innings over nine appearances with the Angels.
Key Stat
D'Arnaud's eighth-inning shot was the second pinch-hit homer of his career. His first came for the Atlanta Braves against the Colorado Rockies on Sept. 4, 2021.
Up Next
Athletics LHP JP Sears (5-5, 5.21 ERA) will oppose Angels RHP Kyle Hendricks (2-6, 5.34 ERA) in Wednesday's series finale.

Australia batter Steve Smith out of WTC final after breaking pinkie
LONDON (AP) — Australia batter Steve Smith will take no further part in the World Test Championship final after suffering a compound dislocation of his right pinkie on Friday. Smith was hurt at first slip trying to catch a thick edge by South Africa captain Temba Bavuma at Lord's. Many edges haven't been carrying to the slips cordon in the match, so Smith was standing closer than usual to the wickets, 14 meters behind Bavuma, and wearing a helmet when Mitchell Starc delivered the 138 kph short ball. Smith got his hands up but not fast enough to make the shoulder-high catch. He left the field immediately. He was taken to hospital for more treatment, a team statement said. It did not say how long he'll be sidelined, but the injury puts in doubt him going to the Caribbean after the WTC final for the three-test series against the West Indies starting on June 25. ____

World Cup skiers promised at least 10% rise in race prize money next season
GENEVA (AP) — Prize money across all World Cup disciplines will increase by at least 10% next season, the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) said Friday. Superstars in Alpine skiing earn the most — Mikaela Shiffrin and Marco Odermatt each made a record $1 million in race prize money in the 2023 season — but top racers in ski cross and snowboard disciplines typically earn less than 100,000 Swiss francs ($123,000) for the winter. 'It is clear that we still have a lot to do when it comes to rewarding our athletes as they deserve,' FIS President Johan Eliasch said in a statement. FIS said it will guarantee a 10% increase and hopes that race organizers add an extra 10% 'on a voluntary basis.' 'This is an important step, but only another one in a long way ahead,' Eliasch said. In ski jumping, Daniel Tschofenig topped the men's prize money list last season with 372,550 Swiss francs ($459,000), and women's leader Nika Prevc earned almost 130,000 Swiss francs ($160,000). The most lucrative venue is storied Austrian resort Kitzbuehel which had a total prize fund last season of 1 million euros ($1.15 million) across a three-race weekend for men. ___
