TJ Friedl drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning and Gavin Lux followed with an insurance RBI double as the Cincinnati Reds won their third straight game, 6-4 over the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, Calif., on Tuesday night.
Miguel Andujar went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBIs, Noelvi Marte homered, doubled and drove in two runs, and Elly De La Cruz scored twice for Cincinnati, which won its 10th straight game against the Angels.
Luis Mey (2-0) picked up the win in relief and Tony Santillan notched his fourth save with two strikeouts during a 1-2-3 ninth. Hunter Greene, making his second start after missing a little over two months with a right groin strain, allowed three runs on six hits in 6 1/3 innings while tying a season high with 12 strikeouts. He threw 98 pitches, 74 for strikes.
Jo Adell hit two home runs and had three hits and Mike Trout went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run for Los Angeles. Kenley Jansen (5-3) allowed two runs on two hits, a hit batter and a walk in one inning of relief.
Los Angeles took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Trout doubled with two outs and scored on a single by Taylor Ward.
Cincinnati tied it in the second when Marte socked his 10th home run, a 415-foot drive to dead center that extended his hitting streak to 10 games.
The Reds took a 3-1 lead in the fourth. De La Cruz led off with a single and scored on a bloop double to left by Andujar. Austin Hays walked and Marte followed with an RBI double down the right field line.
Cincinnati extended the lead to 4-1 in the fifth when De La Cruz walked with two outs and, running on the pitch, scored from first on Andujar's single to right.
Los Angeles cut the deficit to 4-3 in the seventh when Adell led off with a 452-foot homer to left-center and Zach Neto singled in Travis d'Arnaud, who had doubled.
Adell then tied it 4-4 with two out in the eighth with his second homer of the night -- a 371-foot line drive down the left field line -- off Mey. It was his 28th homer of the season.
The Reds then scored twice off Jansen to pull out the win in the ninth. Jose Trevino blooped a single with one out, went to second when Ke'Bryan Hayes was hit by a pitch and took third when pinch hitter Will Benson walked to load the bases. Friedl then drove in the game-winner with his sacrifice fly to center.
Lux then doubled to right. Hayes scored on the play, but Benson was thrown out at the plate.
