Angels Edge White Sox; Aldegheri Returns With Cutter
Tap title to read story
ANAHEIM -- On Tuesday night the Los Angeles Angels secured a 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox after Zach Neto launched a go-ahead home run in the fifth inning. Left-hander Sam Aldegheri was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday after Nick Sandlin was designated for assignment and has been working on a new cutter.
The immediate consequence was a preserved win as Ryan Zeferzahn worked out of a ninth-inning jam to record the save, while Mike Trout and Jorge Soler also hit homers that contributed to the offense. Aldegheri, who pitched for Italy in the World Baseball Classic and made an April 16 appearance against the Yankees, described the cutter as promising as the Angels manage short-term roster moves this week.
