ANAHEIM, Calif.—Jo Adell doubled and scored the tiebreaking run on two flyouts in the eighth inning, and the Los Angeles Angels snapped their five-game losing streak with a 2–1 victory over the San Diego Padres on Monday night.

Tyler Anderson pitched into the seventh, and Willie Calhoun had an early RBI single for the Angels, who won for the second time in their past 10 games. Calhoun had two of the Angels’ four hits as they improved their major league-worst home record to 8–21 in the opener of a six-game homestand.
