The Angels beat the Padres 5-4 Sunday at Tempe Diablo Stadium. Batter’s box: Tyler Wade led off the sixth inning with a triple and scored on Óscar Mercado’s single. Wade, who is vying for a bench spot, also walked and scored on Brad Miller’s sacrifice fly in the first inning. Wade leads the Padres with nine hits this spring. … Eguy Rosario, another infielder on the bubble, drove in two runs with a double off the top of the wall in left field. … Tim Locastro had the Padres’ only other hit.
… Brito departed with two outs and a runner on second base in the fifth inning in his final Cactus League outing before Logan Gillaspie got the final out. … Woo-Suk Go surrendered five runs while getting just one out in the sixth inning. The right-hander, in his first year in MLB after leading the Korean Baseball Organization in saves over the past five seasons, walked a batter and gave up a single, double, triple and home run.
