CHICAGO — This wasn’t the game the Angels planned, but it still couldn’t have worked out much better.
Forced into a bullpen game because of an illness to scheduled starter Noah Syndergaard, the Angels still beat the Chicago White Sox and ace Lucas Giolito, 5-1, on Friday night, their sixth consecutive victory.
Relievers Jimmy Herget, Austin Warren, Archie Bradley, Aaron Loup, Ryan Tepera, Mike Mayers and Raisel Iglesias combined to hold the White Sox to three hits. At one point, they retired 18 hitters in a row.
