Mike Trout went 2 for 4 and finished the series 8 for 11 with two homers and five RBIs for the Angels.Yoan Moncada had two hits for the White Sox, who have dropped five straight.Heaney (9-9) allowed just three singles and didn’t walk anyone.

He has set career highs in wins, starts (27), innings pitched (165) and strikeouts (161) this season.“That’s a terrific game from Andrew,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “As we continue to see him get his stamina as this year’s progressed, he’s finished strong and might have some more left in him.”After giving up a hit to Tim Anderson leading off the first, Heaney retired 11 straight. The streak was broken when Matt Davidson struck out swinging leading off the fifth but reached as the ball got by catcher Jose Briceno for a wild pitch. Only one Chicago runner reached second base against Heaney.“I was throwing some backdoor breaking balls better than I normally do Mark Trumbo Jersey , so I kind of leaned on that more and then threw the changeup after that,” he said. “I was able to put some guys away with heaters late.”Chicago starter Reynaldo Lopez threw six scoreless innings.

Moncada was on second and would have scored the tying run if the ball dropped in.“When the ball was hit off the bat, we thought it was a base hit Chris Tillman Jersey ,” Scioscia said. “Justin got a great jump, came right in and made a terrific catch.”TRAINER’S ROOMAngels: OF/P Shohei Ohtani (bruised right thigh) started at DH on Sunday and went 1 for 3 with a walk.
