ANAHEIM, Calif. — Jos\u00e9 Soriano pitched two-hit ball into the sixth inning of his fifth consecutive win, Yo\u00e1n Moncada and Josh Lowe homered, and the Los Angeles Angels snapped the San Diego Padres’ eight-game winning streak with an 8-0 victory Friday night.<\/p>\n

Adam Frazier had an RBI triple and Jo Adell had a two-run double for the Angels<\/a>, who opened a six-game homestand by blowing out a Southern California rival.<\/p>\n

Soriano (5-0) continued his spectacular start to the season despite four walks, recording eight strikeouts and lowering his ERA to 0.28 with just one run allowed in his 32 2\/3 innings this season. The Angels’ ace increased his major league-leading strikeout total to 39, and he joined Milwaukee’s Aaron Ashby as MLB’s only pitchers with five wins.<\/p>\n

Three Los Angeles relievers wrapped up a combined three-hitter in San Diego’s first shutout loss of the season.<\/p>\n

Before the first pitch, Angel Stadium aired a tribute video and observed a moment of silence for Garret Anderson<\/a>, the longtime Angels outfielder and franchise hits leader whose death at 53 was announced by the team earlier Friday. The Angels are wearing a patch bearing Anderson\u2019s initials on their uniform shoulders.<\/p>\n

Matt Waldron (0-1) yielded six runs on eight hits in his season debut for the Padres, who followed a perfect 7-0 homestand<\/a> with only their second loss in two weeks. San Diego had won 11 of 12 since its 2-5 start to the season.<\/p>\n

Waldron started 26 games for the Padres in 2024, but just one last year \u2014 and then the occasional knuckleballer got a late start on the current season after undergoing a procedure on a hemorrhoid in February.<\/p>\n

After Moncada’s homer began a three-run rally in the second, Soriano escaped a bases-loaded jam in the third by getting Jackson Merrill to ground out.<\/p>\n

Nolan Schanuel chased Waldron with an RBI single in the fourth before Adell and Lowe delivered two-RBI hits off David Morgan.<\/p>\n

Soriano left after Manny Machado singled and Xander Bogaerts walked, but Chase Silseth got Gavin Sheets to fly out to the warning track in right.<\/p>\n

Germ\u00e1n M\u00e1rquez (2-1, 5.54 ERA) takes the Big A mound for the Padres on Saturday to face the Halos’ struggling Yusei Kikuchi (0-2, 7.50). <\/p>\n
