The Angels' starting pitcher Ryan Johnson took the loss despite limiting Pittsburgh to four hits over six innings. The win marks the fifth victory in six games for the Pirates, while the Angels have dropped 10 of their last 11 contests. The teams continue their series Saturday with Braxton Ashcraft scheduled to start for Pittsburgh against Yusei Kikuchi of the Angels.
