ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Nick Fortes homered and doubled, rookie Eury Pérez pitched five innings of two-hit ball and the Miami Marlins concluded their 10-game road trip Sunday with a 2-0 victory and a series sweep of the Los Angeles Angels.
Pérez (2-1) and five Miami relievers combined on a five-hitter that ended the Angels’ majors-best streak of 94 consecutive games without a shutout loss since Aug. 21, 2022.
JT Chargois allowed two hits and a walk in the ninth, but he retired Mike Trout on a game-ending popup to second with two runners in scoring position. Chargois earned his first save in 173 appearances during a major league career that began in 2016.
Jean Segura had an RBI single in the sixth for the Marlins, who have won four of five. They finished 5-5 on their trip by securing their franchise's first sweep of a three-game series with the Angels, who couldn't score despite drawing eight walks Sunday.
Patrick Sandoval (3-4) yielded eight hits and two runs over six innings in his fourth consecutive winless start for the Angels, who had won six of seven before getting swept by Miami. Los Angeles went 5-4 on its nine-game homestand after stranding 11 runners in the finale, ending the fourth-longest streak in franchise history without a shutout loss.
The 6-foot-8 Pérez walked four in his fourth career start, but the 20-year-old right-hander with the 100-mph fastball otherwise had his longest and most effective outing since getting called up earlier this month.
The Marlins' bullpen shut down Los Angeles yet again after Pérez left, highlighted by Tanner Scott's strikeout of Shohei Ohtani to strand two in the seventh. Miami intentionally walked Trout as the tying run to get to Ohtani, who went 5 for 33 with 13 strikeouts on the Angels' homestand, including three whiffs Sunday.
Jorge Soler went 0 for 4, ending his streak of five consecutive games with a homer. The Miami slugger finished one game shy of Giancarlo Stanton's franchise record of six straight in 2017.
Miami got its first baserunner on Fortes' second homer of the season in the third inning.
Sandoval intentionally walked Yuli Gurriel in the sixth to get to Segura, who delivered a soft single on the first pitch.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Marlins: LHP Trevor Rogers will start a rehab assignment with Single-A Jupiter next week. He has been sidelined since April 19 with a left biceps strain, but he could be back in the rotation soon if his rehab progresses well.
Angels: LHP Matt Moore went on the 15-day injured list with a right oblique strain after injuring himself in warmups Friday. Ben Joyce, a 6-foot-5 reliever with a 105-mph fastball, joined the club but did not make his major league debut Sunday. ... Los Angeles also moved RHP Austin Warren (Tommy John surgery) to the 60-day injured list to make room for Joyce on the 40-man roster.
UP NEXT
Marlins: Cy Young Award winner Sandy Alcántara (2-5, 4.86 ERA) will look to continue his rebound Tuesday when he takes the mound in Miami for a series opener against San Diego.
Angels: Griffin Canning (3-2, 4.95 ERA) takes the mound Monday on the Southside when Los Angeles opens a seven-game road trip with three against the Chicago White Sox.
