THE GAME: The Angels managed just five hits in a 4-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in a Cactus League game Saturday in Tempe, Ariz.
PITCHING REPORT: Right-hander Jack Kochanowicz was charged with three runs in 3⅓ innings. He gave up six hits, all singles on ground balls, and he walked three. “Obviously not my best stuff today,” Kochanowicz said. “Definitely want to limit the walks every time. I can’t really get too mad about ground balls when they sneak through, because that’s just the name of the game for me. So just really got to limit the walks.” Kochanowicz has allowed four earned runs in 12⅓ innings this spring. He is in the race for the No. 5 starter spot with Reid Detmers and Chase Silseth. … Left-hander Garrett McDaniels worked around two walks in a scoreless inning. McDaniels, a Rule 5 pick, has allowed one earned run in seven innings this spring. … Left-hander Brock Burke gave up his first run of the spring. He has pitched 6⅔ innings, with nine strikeouts and one walk. … Right-hander Michael Peterson pitched a scoreless inning, with two strikeouts. Peterson, a non-roster invitee who is in the running for a bullpen spot, has allowed two earned runs in 5⅔ innings this spring, with seven strikeouts. … Right-hander Ryan Zeferjahn worked a perfect inning. He has not allowed a run in six innings this spring.
HITTING REPORT: Tim Anderson hit a line drive to left-center and legged out a double. He also hit a line drive into the gap, but it was caught by center fielder Garrett Mitchell as he slid. Anderson started the spring 2 for 17 (.118) but he’s gone 7 for 20 (.350) since. … Mike Trout drew a walk – after falling behind 0-and-2 – and he reached on an infield hit. Trout is 6 for 21 (.286) with an OPS of 1.102 this spring. He’s hit two homers and drawn seven walks.
DEFENSE REPORT: Second baseman Kyren Paris had trouble getting rid of the ball quickly enough to turn a potential double play. … Center fielder Jo Adell made a catch as he crashed into the fence. Adell, who is adjusting to center after playing right last season, has improved at the position throughout the spring. … Center fielder Matthew Lugo fully extended to make a nice running catch of a ball in the gap in left-center.
