The Arizona Diamondbacks couldn’t match the Los Angeles Angels’ spectacular play on Thursday, losing 7-1 to split the interleague series.
Things started off promising — Allen Webster struck out Albert Pujols in the second and the first two innings ended on double plays. Two solo home runs in the third put the Angels up for good and a five-run sixth inning from Los Angeles put an exclamation mark on the game and ended Webster’s night.
Josh Collmenter came in for relief and pitched 2.2 innings and gave up the one run on three hits with one intentional walk and two strikeouts.
David Peralta and Nick Ahmed had consecutive doubles in the fifth for the D-backs lone score.
