Bridwell haunts former team in Angels’ 3-2 win over Orioles<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\n

Parker Bridwell, a right-hander the Angels picked up simply for cash in mid-April from the Orioles, came back to haunt his former team Tuesday night in a 3-2 victory for Los Angeles over Baltimore.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bridwell (6-1) went seven strong innings, holding the Orioles to one run and six hits. He struck out four and did not walk a batter. The Angels are 10-1 this season in games started by Bridwell.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeremy Hellickson (7-6) was matching Bridwell until running into trouble in the seventh. He had retired 10 straight in the 1-1 game when the Angels chased him with four consecutive hits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Luis Valbuena doubled in the go-ahead run and C.J. Cron singled in another.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cron opened the game’s scoring in the second. After Andrelton Simmons singled and stole second, Cron lined an RBI hit to left.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Orioles tied it in the fifth. Tim Beckham singled, took third on a double by Seth Smith and scored on Caleb Joseph’s single, putting runners on the corners with no outs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bridwell, 26, avoided further damage with a groundout, strikeout and getting Manny Machado to line out to Mike Trout in center.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rookie right-hander Keynan Middleton gave up a solo home run in the ninth to Joseph but got the final out to collect his first career save.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hellickson was charged with three runs, six hits and a walk. He struck out nine. It was his second start for the Orioles after coming over in a trade deadline deal with the Philadelphia Phillies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manager Mike Scioscia and designated hitter Albert Pujols were both ejected in the sixth after arguing a strikeout called on a checked swing. It was the first ejection for both this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

TRAINER’S ROOM<\/span><\/p>\n

Orioles: Plan to activate DH Mark Trumbo (right rib cage strain) from the disabled list for Wednesday’s game against the Angels. He last played on July 29.<\/span><\/p>\n

Angels: Third baseman Yunel Escobar was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a mild oblique strain. He is expected to be out two to three weeks. . RHP Matt Shoemaker underwent surgery to relieve pressure on his compressed radial nerve. He is out for the season. . Scioscia said Andrew Heaney (Tommy John surgery), who has made five rehab appearances, could make his next start with the Angels.<\/span><\/p>\n
