Diamondback 3, Angels 4: Soria seems to be the hardest word...

A well-pitched game by the Arizona Diamondbac... Oh, hang on. Make that “A generally well-pitched game” - in particular, if you had to pop out of the house and run an errand during the bottom of the fifth inning. Because that was when Joakim Soria was tagged for four earned runs, on three hits, a walk, and a pair of wild pitches. He had to be mercy-ruled out of the frame, recording only two genuine outs. Admittedly, the first WP came on a dropped third strike which should have been an out. But the single, two RBI double and two-run homer which followed?
