Taylor Ward doubled twice and drove in four runs to cap an outstanding series as the Los Angeles Angels rolled over the host Philadelphia Phillies 8-2 on Sunday.

Ward drove in multiple runs in all three games in Philadelphia, finishing the weekend set with two home runs, three doubles and eight RBIs. Mike Trout joined in on the fun Sunday, pitching in two RBIs, while Zach Neto had two hits and scored three times for the Angels.

The strong offensive attack by Los Angeles made a winner of Jose Soriano (7-7), who allowed two runs and six hits over seven innings. The right-hander walked two and struck out five.

Otto Kemp singled and homered for Philadelphia, which has lost six of its last nine games. Phillies lefty Ranger Suarez (7-4) endured his worst start in more than two months, allowing six runs, eight hits and four walks in 4 1/3 innings.

Los Angeles opened the scoring with four straight singles against Suarez in the second inning. The fourth hit in that sequence was Neto’s RBI hit to right field to make it 1-0.

Two batters later, Suarez walked Trout to force in another run. Ward then followed with a bases-clearing double to center as the visitors surged ahead 5-0.

Rafael Marchan’s two-out RBI single got Philadelphia on the board in the bottom of the frame, but the Angels got that run back in the fourth on Trout’s sacrifice fly.

LaMonte Wade Jr. opened the sixth with a home run against Joe Ross as the Angels grew their lead to 7-1. Kemp responded with a sixth-inning homer for the Phillies, but Ward countered with an RBI double in the seventh to make it 8-2.

Wade finished 3-for-4 in relief of Nolan Schanuel, who exited with a wrist contusion after getting hit by a pitch in the first inning.

Philadelphia sluggers Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper, who combined for five home runs in the first two games of the series, collectively went 1-for-8 with four strikeouts in this one.
