ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Wade Meckler and Nick Madrigal each had four of Los
Angeles' 16 hits, Walbert Urea pitched six solid innings and the Angels beat
the Colorado Rockies 11-4 on Wednesday night.
Meckler is batting .389 (14 for 36) with two homers and 10 RBIs since he was
recalled from Double-A on May 22.
Vaughn Grissom added a homer and three RBIs, and Oswald Peraza had two hits and
two RBIs to help the Angels --- who tied their season high with the 16 hits ---
avoid a three-game sweep.
Urea (3-4) allowed three hits and three runs. He struck out seven and walked
three, cooling a Colorado lineup that scored 39 runs in its previous five
games. The 22-year-old right-hander, who moved from the bullpen to the rotation
in mid-April, has a 2.08 ERA in his last seven starts.
The Angels bunched six hits in a six-run second, the rally featuring Jose
Siri's RBI double and RBI singles by Logan O'Hoppe, Grissom and Peraza. Two
runs scored on wild pitches by Michael Lorenzen (2-8), who gave up eight runs
and 10 hits in 3 1/3 innings.
The Rockies cut it to 6-1 on back-to-back doubles by Hunter Goodman and Troy
Johnston in the fourth, but the Angels countered with Grissom's two-run homer
in the bottom of the inning for an 8-1 lead.
Colorado pulled to 8-3 in the fifth on Tyler Freeman's two-run homer, but the
Angels answered again in the bottom half on Jo Adell's RBI single for a 9-3
lead. Doubles by Meckler and Peraza and Madrigal's RBI single pushed the lead
to 11-3 in the sixth.
Relievers Drew Pomeranz, Ryan Zeferjahn and Kirby Yates covered the final three
innings for the Angels.
