ANGELS GAME REPORT

-

THE GAME: The Angels lost 11-5 to the Oakland A's in Mesa, Ariz. It was the Angels' final game of the Arizona portion of spring training, so many of their regulars had already returned to Southern California. The Freeway Series against the Dodgers begins today.

Left-hander Matt Moore pitched a perfect first inning. Moore has allowed one earned run in 7 1/3 innings this spring. In the second, right-hander Luis Garcia walked two straight hitters and then allowed a two-run double and a run-scoring single. He recorded just one out. Garcia has allowed seven earned runs in 4 2/3 innings this spring. Moore and Garcia pitched the first two innings, allowing them to get an early start on travel back to California. … Righthande­r Caden Dana, who took the mound in the third, gave up four runs in 1 2/3 innings, with three walks. Dana's fastball was 95-96mph.

Nolan Schanuel hit a two-run homer in his first at-bat. Schanuel had been out for a week because of back stiffness. It was his second homer of the spring. Schanuel also lost an infield hit when A's pitcher Ross Stripling made a grab and a spinning throw of his chopper toward the third-base line. … Jo Adell drew a walk and hit a drive that was caught at the fence in right-center. Manager Ron Washington has been encouraged that Adell has been hitting the ball to the opposite field this spring. … Mickey Moniak was credited with a single on a ball that hopped off the glove of second baseman Abraham Toro. … Nelson Rada, one of the Angels' top prospects, hit a homer, his first of the spring in a big-league exhibition game.
