Luis Rengifo drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and Yusei Kikuchi allowed one run on seven hits over seven innings as the Los Angeles Angels snapped a 10-game losing streak to the Cincinnati Reds with a 2-1 on Wednesday night in Anaheim, Calif.
Yoan Moncada hit a home run and Mike Trout went 2-for-4 to extend his on-base streak to 21 games for Los Angeles, which won for the second time in six games.
Reid Detmers (4-3) picked up the win with a scoreless inning of relief and Luis Garcia, subbing for injured closer Kenley Jansen (ribs), pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to pick up his first save. Kikuchi didn't walk a batter and struck out four. He left after throwing 88 pitches, 58 for strikes.
Ke'Bryan Hayes had two doubles and scored a run and Noelvi Marte went 2-for-4 with an RBI for Cincinnati, which had a three-game win streak snapped. It was Marte's fifth consecutive multi-hit game and also extended his hitting streak to 11 games.
Graham Ashcraft (7-5) suffered the loss after allowing one run on three hits in 2/3 of an inning. The loss kept Cincinnati from moving into a tie with the New York Mets for the final wild-card spot in the National League.
Cincinnati took a 1-0 lead in the third inning when Austin Hays led off with an opposite field double down the right field line and scored two outs later on a single by Marte.
Los Angeles tied it 1-1 in the fourth inning on Moncada's ninth home run, a 394-foot drive to left-center.
The Angels took their first lead of the series in the eighth inning against Ashcraft. Bryce Teodosio led off with a double to left and scored what proved to be the game-winner one out later on a ground single to left by Rengifo.
Los Angeles shortstop Zach Neto, the reigning American League Player of the Week, was hit by a pitch in the third inning and left the game before the start of the sixth inning with what was described by the team as left wrist soreness.
