The relievers and a home run by Brandon Drury make the difference in a 7-6 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays
ANAHEIM ― The Angels and Tampa Bay Rays settled in early to their surroundings Saturday morning for the first game of a scheduled doubleheader. As Tropical Storm Hilary was bearing down on the Pacific Coast of Mexico, two managers were plotting the best way to get through 18 innings of baseball after expected rainfall forced Sunday’s series finale to be moved up one day.
Angels starter Chase Silseth and his counterpart, Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Tyler Glasnow, did not get the assignment. Silseth lasted a mere 3 ⅔ innings. Glasnow allowed seven runs in five innings. The game would be decided by the bullpens, which is how the Angels pulled out a 7-6 victory in Game 1 before an announced crowd of 27,309.
Griffin Canning allowed one run in 3 ⅓ innings. Matt Moore tossed a scoreless eighth inning.
