Ward's two-run double in the seventh inning and a strong performance
by right-hander Noah Syndergaard keyed the Los Angeles Angels' 4-3
victory over the Chicago White Sox on Monday night in Anaheim,
Calif.
Angels left fielder Brandon Marsh also had a big night with three
hits, including a triple, two runs, an RBI and a sliding catch in
the outfield.
Syndergaard (5-6) gave up three runs in seven innings, striking out
seven while walking one and allowing six hits. But the Angels
entered the bottom of the seventh trailing 3-2.
Max Stassi began the inning with a walk and went to second on a
single by Marsh. After a sacrifice bunt by Andrew Velazquez moved
the baserunners to second and third, Ward belted a 97 mph fastball
from Reynaldo Lopez (4-2) to right-center, scoring both pinch runner
Monte Harrison and Marsh to put the Angels up 4-3.
Ryan Tepera (eighth inning) and Raisel Iglesias (ninth inning, 14th
save) finished it off with a scoreless inning each. Tepera (three
games) and Iglesias (two games) were hit with suspensions for their
roles in the Sunday fight with the Seattle Mariners. However,
because they have appealed, they remain eligible to play.
The Angels took the lead against White Sox starter Lucas Giolito in
the second inning. Jared Walsh led off with a single, and two outs
later, scored on a triple by Marsh.

Marsh scored on an infield single by Velazquez,
giving the Angels a 2-0 edge.
Syndergaard, meanwhile, started strong, retiring the first nine
White Sox batters of the game before Tim Anderson led off the fourth
with a single. Syndergaard took the 2-0 lead into the sixth when the
White Sox were able to break through and tie the game at 2-2.
Anderson walked with one out and scored on a double by Andrew
Vaughn. Marsh made a sliding catch on a liner to left-center by Luis
Robert for the second out of the inning, but Jose Abreu followed
with a double to score Vaughn.
The White Sox took a 3-2 lead in the top of the seventh on an RBI
single by Josh Harrison that scored Gavin Sheets.
Giolito limited the Angels to two runs on six hits in six innings.
He fanned six and walked one.
