Summary
Vaughn Grissom’s standout play came in the third inning, when the Angels third baseman started a double play with a bounce throw to second in a 5-1 win over St. Louis.
Sun glare in Oswald Peraza’s eyes prompted the improvisation: Grissom skipped the ball halfway to second, Peraza handled the hop and fired to first baseman Nolan Schanuel for the out.
Walbert Ureña backed the defense with six innings of one-run ball, allowing six hits, striking out five and lowering his ERA to 2.78.
Five of the Angels’ 10 hits came in a five-run first inning, fueled by Jorge Soler’s two-run double, Grissom’s RBI single and Jo Adell’s two-run homer.
The victory was Los Angeles’ fourth straight—matching its longest streak this season—while the Cardinals fell for the 10th time in 14 games.
