ANAHEIM \u2014 A few softly hit balls \u2013 one the Angels converted into an out and two the Baltimore Orioles didn\u2019t \u2013 decided Wednesday afternoon\u2019s series finale.<\/p>\n

The Angels won, 7-6 in 10 innings, with Logan O\u2019Hoppe\u2019s game-winning \u201chit\u201d traveling about 15 feet from the plate.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just one of those freak plays where it worked out,\u201d O\u2019Hoppe said, adding that \u201ca win\u2019s a win. That\u2019s why we do it. I think it looks pretty good in my eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Things were looking bleak for the Angels when starter Jos\u00e9 Soriano gave up five runs in the first three innings, another rough outing in what has been a two-month slump. Thanks to the work of the bullpen, the Angels were still down by the same 5-2 score in the eighth, which is when things started to turn.<\/p>\n

The Angels scored three runs with two outs in the eighth, on Vaughn Grissom\u2019s RBI single and Wade Meckler\u2019s two-run single.<\/p>\n

In the top of the 10th, right-hander Chase Silseth nearly escaped, thanks to his own slick defense. With runners at the corners, Silseth induced a dribbler in front of the plate. He raced to it, fielded it and then flipped it with his glove to his catcher, O\u2019Hoppe, who slapped the tag on Blaze Alexander. O\u2019Hoppe was telling Silseth to throw to first, conceding the run.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw him running down the line, I saw Logan (saying) \u2018one, one, one,\u2019\u201d Silseth said. \u201cI saw (Alexander) kind of right there to the right and, probably not going to get him at first, so might as well go for it. We work on it in spring training with the glove flips going to home. It paid off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Had the Angels not converted that out, the inning \u201ccould have been really bad,\u201d Manager Kurt Suzuki. Instead, it was manageable, with the Orioles scoring a single run on Pete Alonso\u2019s two-out bloop single.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

In the bottom of the inning, the Angels were down to their last out when Nolan Schanuel hit a routine grounder to the right side. Second baseman Jeremiah Jackson fielded it, but pitcher Keegan Akin couldn\u2019t handle the flip to first. He and Alonso were both converging on first, perhaps leading to confusion of who was taking the throw.<\/p>\n

The ball hit off Schanuel and shot all the way down the right field line, allowing him to get to third.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Hoppe then stepped to the plate and hit a dribbler that catcher Samuel Basallo fielded as Schanuel was heading toward the plate. Basallo might have had a shot at O\u2019Hoppe at first, but he instead lunged to try to tag Schanuel, and Schanuel eluded him, scoring the winning run.<\/p>\n

The Angels trailed 5-2 in the third inning after another rough Soriano start, but relievers Mitch Farris, Jos\u00e9 Fermin, Samy Natera Jr. and Sam Bachman combined to hold the Orioles to two baserunners over six scoreless innings.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust picking each other up is what this team does,\u201d Silseth said. \u201cIt\u2019s what we want to do. It\u2019s what we rely on. Sori just didn\u2019t have his stuff today and it\u2019s going to happen. It\u2019s baseball. We want to pick him up in any way we can.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bullpen and the offense spared Soriano from a loss on a day when he continued to struggle. Soriano\u2019s slump has now been twice as long as the hot streak that had Angels fans so excited.<\/p>\n

Soriano was the American League Pitcher of the Month in April with an ERA of 0.84. There was talk of a spot in the All-Star Game and the Cy Young race. Fans were clamoring for the Angels to lock him up with a new contract.<\/p>\n

Since then, Soriano has a 5.50 ERA in 10 starts. He\u2019s walked 32 hitters in 52\u2153 innings. He\u2019s also allowed nine home runs in those games, which is only three fewer than he gave up all of last season. Soriano has one quality start in those 10 outings, a 7\u2154-inning, one-run performance on May 10 at Toronto.<\/p>\n

Soriano said he\u2019s physically fine, but clearly something is wrong with the way he\u2019s pitched.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think concerned\u2019s the right word,\u201d Suzuki said. \u201cLooking for solutions. Looking for ways to help him. The mentality, the work ethic, the will to get better each and every time he goes out there is there. Like I said from the beginning, he\u2019s our guy. He\u2019s going to keep going out there and then giving us his best every time.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, he got through an encouraging first inning on eight pitches, before everything went wrong.<\/p>\n

In the second, he hung a splitter to Basallo, the Orioles\u2019 21-year-old slugging catcher. Basallo obliterated it, sending it 434 feet into the seats in right-center field.<\/p>\n

An inning later, Soriano walked Leody Tavares and then gave up two more rockets: a Pete Alonso RBI double and Basallo\u2019s second two-run homer of the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just missed a couple of pitches,\u201d Soriano said. \u201cSometimes that happens. When you miss pitches in the middle, that\u2019s going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
