Angels Power Past Sox

Canning had perhaps the best start of his career, going seven innings and allowing just one run, and Anthony Bemboom hit his first homer in the majors to lead the Los Angeles Angels to a 9-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox.

 

Shohei Ohtani, Kole Calhoun and Matt Thaiss also homered to back Canning (5-6), who went seven innings for only the second time.

 

Ohtani hit his first home run since July 27 and just his second since the All-Star break. He has a nine-game hit streak, the longest of his young career.

 

The Angels have won four of five, including three of the four games in the weekend series.

 

Canning struck out eight and walked one while mixing his slider, curveball, changeup and fastball.

 

Thaiss hit a three-run homer in the second inning off White Sox starter Dylan Cease (2-6). He was 3 for 4 with a career-high four RBIs and one run scored.

 

Eloy Jimenez homered and tripled for the White Sox.

 

Cease allowed five runs on seven hits in five innings. He struck out six, walked one and hit one.

Ivan Nova (8-9, 4.51 ERA) is 4-0 with a 0.49 ERA over his last five starts (since July 22), the best ERA in the majors during that stretch. He'll start Monday at Minnesota.
