Oswald Peraza had three RBIs and Jo Adell and Wade Meckler and drove in two apiece as the Los Angeles Angels built an early seven-run lead and cruised to a 10-1 victory over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night at Anaheim, Calif.
Meckler scored three times and reached base five times on three walks, one hit and once via error for the Angels, who had lost six of their previous eight games. Sebastian Rivero had two hits before exiting with a left wrist injury and Adell and Peraza also had two hits.
Brice Matthews had an RBI single for the Astros, who had won three of their previous four contests.
Walbert Urena (4-4) pitched five scoreless innings to win his third straight decision for the Angels. He gave up three hits, walked five and struck out seven before three relievers finished up.
Houston's Kai-Wei Teng (3-5) was roughed up for seven runs (five earned) and seven hits over four innings. He struck out five and walked three.
Rivero had a streak of seven straight hits before the injury that occurred when he fouled off a pitch in the fifth. Logan O'Hoppe entered for the final two pitches of the at-bat and took a called strike three with the strikeout charged to Rivero to end his hit streak.
Los Angeles first baseman Nolan Schanuel (calf) departed before the top of the fourth inning due to left calf tightness.
The Angels scored twice without a hit in the first inning.
Los Angeles loaded the bases with one out on two walks and an error before Schaneul was hit by Teng's pitch to force in a run. Peraza followed with a possible double-play grounder but Jose Altuve dropped the ball on the exchange after securing the out at second as Meckler scored.
The Angels erupted for five runs in the second inning.
The bases were loaded with one out when Meckler hit a two-run double to left to make it 4-0. Adell followed with another two-run double to make it a six-run game. Schanuel singled to put runners on the corners before Peraza hit into a fielder's choice to score Adell.
Houston scored in the seventh while sending pinch hitters to the plate for Jeremy Pena, Yordan Alvarez, Christian Walker and Altuve in a five-batter span.
With two outs, Collin Price singled and starter Isaac Paredes walked before Matthews stroked an RBI single to right to get the Astros on the board.
Trey Mancini's bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the eighth made it 8-1. Peraza's infield hit and Denzer Guzman's infield out also plated runs.
