Yusei Kikuchi turned in six shutout innings and the Angels backed him with three separate scoring bursts, cruising to a 6-1 win over the Pirates at PNC Park.

The Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher dominated with this pitch decision.

The healthy return of Oneil Cruz, Konnor Griffin and - eventually - Ryan O'Hearn could be enough to secure a winning season and signal tangible signs of progress.

Kikuchi throws 6 scoreless innings for his first win of the season after missing nearly 4 months with a shoulder injury, leading the Angels to a 6-1 victory.
