Tyler Wade had two hits for the AL West-leading Angels, who were trying to climb to eight games above .500 for the first time since June 10, 2018. Three-time MVP Trout and reigning MVP Shohei Ohtani were a combined 0 for 8 with two strikeouts.
Robert connected in his second game back from a groin strain for a three-run shot off José Suarez in the fifth, scoring Harrison and Anderson."We're going to hit," Chicago manager Tony La Russa said."As long as they keep the attitude that they have now and stay positive and keep working, we're going to hit."
Liam Hendriks, who has a 5.40 ERA, got Trout and Ohtani to fly out before issuing a walk and inducing a lineout to end the game.Velasquez last won June 29, 2021, against Miami. He retired nine straight before allowing two-out singles to Kurt Suzuki and Wade in the fifth. David Fletcher lined out to end the inning.
"He pitched a heck of a game," Anderson said."He came out and he did what he was supposed to do, and he was competing through a tough lineup.""I overall thought he took a step forward today," manager Joe Maddon said."Without getting too specific, there's other things he needs to do a little bit better."Home-plate umpire Larry Vanover called Brandon Marsh out on a 3-2 pitch with two on in the eighth before Trout would have batted.
"We all miss calls. We all make mistakes," Maddon said."I'm sure he's not happy about it. That's part of the game. We could have scored more runs. We didn't. It's just one pitch."White Sox: OF Andrew Vaughn was out of the lineup after he was hit by a pitch Friday. He is day-to-day. …INF Yoán Moncada began a rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Charlotte.
Angels: RHP Archie Bradley went on the injured list, and RHP Elvis Peguero was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake. …RHP Noah Syndergaard was doing well after he was scratched Friday, Maddon said. He hadn't decided when Syndergaard will next start. …INF Fletcher will play at second base to help him return from his hip injury, Maddon said. Fletcher started at shortstop Friday after he was activated from the injured list.
