Nelson (3-5) allowed two runs over seven innings, scattering nine hits and striking out five. The right-hander has thrown at least seven innings in five of his last seven starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Los Angeles slugger\u00a0Mike Trout\u00a0hit his 16th homer \u2014 an opposite-field shot \u2014 to tie the score at 2 in the fifth. It was the three-time MVP’s 420th career home run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walbert Ure\u00f1a (4-5) threw seven innings for the Angels, giving up four runs \u2014 three earned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Angels grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first on\u00a0Jo Adell’s double down the right-field line that brought home Trout. The D-backs tied it in the bottom half on\u00a0Gabriel Moreno’s RBI single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. returned to Arizona’s lineup after missing roughly three weeks with a strained left hamstring. He had an RBI single in the fourth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
