Arizona Fall League recap -- Oct. 20

Today's game against the Peoria Saguaros was full of ups and downs for the Phoenix Desert Dogs in the Arizona Fall League, but it ultimately ended in a loss.

The Desert Dogs' five-game winning streak was snapped when the Saguaros scored six runs in the top of the ninth inning to win, 11-8. Phoenix took an 8-5 advantage with eight runs in the bottom of the seventh, but the bullpen was unable to hold the lead.

Despite the loss, Phoenix continues to lead the AFL East Division with a 5-2 record.

Recap: Once again, center fielder Matt Angle performed well in the leadoff spot for Phoenix.

The 24-year-old outfielder was 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored. Angle also collected his third stolen base in four games in Arizona, and he picked up an outfield assist.

Orioles minor league infielder Brandon Waring hit a double and scored a run for the Desert Dogs. He played third base in today's game.

Relief pitcher Josh Perrault allowed one run and two hits in one inning for Phoenix. The 27-year-old right-hander struck out one batter and threw 10 of his 14 pitches for strikes.

The rest of the Orioles minor leaguers -- Josh Bell, Brandon Erbe, Eddie Gamboa, Brandon Snyder and Ryohei Tanaka -- did not appear for the Desert Dogs in the defeat.
