Paris and Trout help Angels beat Cardinals 5-4 in 10 innings
[April 01, 2025]
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Kyren
Paris hit a tying triple in the seventh inning, Nolan Schanuel gave Los
Angeles its first lead with a grounder in the 10th and the Angels held
off the St. Louis Cardinals 5-4 on Monday night.
Mike Trout had two RBIs for the Angels, who scored three runs on
sacrifice flies and finally went ahead in the 10th without a hit. After
two walks loaded the bases, Schanuel sent a chopper to second baseman
Brendan Donovan, whose throw home was late as Luis Rengifo scored for a
4-3 lead. |

Trout added a deep sac fly to center that
scored Paris.
The Cardinals got a run in the bottom of the 10th when Victor
Scott II hit a sacrifice fly. Los Angeles reliever Ryan Johnson,
making his second major league appearance, earned his first save
after striking out Masyn Winn.
Brock Burke (1-0) threw one inning of scoreless relief for the
win. JoJo Romero (0-1) took the loss.
St. Louis leadoff hitter Lars Nootbaar drilled a deep shot to
right field in the first that was originally ruled in play. But
after a discussion, umpires ruled it a home run for a 1-0 lead.
Donovan also went deep for the Cardinals, and Nolan Arenado had
an RBI single.
Key moment
Paris hit a liner down the left-field line in the seventh and it
rolled all the way to the wall, allowing Rengifo to score from
first to tie it at 3.
Key stat
Los Angeles walked five times, with four coming around to score.
Up next
Right-hander Kyle Hendricks makes his Angels debut Tuesday.
Hendricks has spent his entire career with the Chicago Cubs and
is 97-81 with a 3.68 ERA in 270 starts and six relief
appearances over 11 seasons. Matthew Liberatore starts for St.
Louis.
