PHOENIX -- The Angels put together some nice offensive numbers in hitter-friendly Texas this past weekend, scoring 23 runs, although they only won one of the four games.
The absence of Justin Upton and Mike Trout and the early departure of recently rolling David Fletcher seemed to catch up with them on Wednesday, when they managed only five hits in a 5-1 Interleague loss to the D-backs at Chase Field.
Rene Rivera had two hits, and his fifth-inning double was the Angels' only extra-base hit off resurgent D-backs starter Clay Buchholz, who tossed seven scoreless innings.
