Angels snap 3-game slide, blank Cubs 6-0

José Soriano pitched two-hit ball over six scoreless innings for the second time in two starts, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Chicago Cubs 2-0 on Tuesday night.

Logan O’Hoppe hit a two-run single with two outs in the sixth against reliever Phil Maton (0-1), and that was all Soriano (2-0) needed on a cold and windy night at Wrigley Field as the Angels snapped a three-game skid.

Cubs starter Jameson Taillon gave up two hits over 4 2/3 innings in his season debut. The veteran right-hander exited after intentionally walking Mike Trout to load the bases.

Left-handers Matthew Boyd (0-1) and Yusei Kikuchi (0-0) start the finale of the three-game series.
