checked out. When we did some tests on it, everything was strong, so hopefully nothing serious.”

Stephenson said he’s not currently scheduled for any further testing.

“If I come in tomorrow and feel good, I’ll play catch and see how it goes,” Stephenson said.

While the Angels wait to get more information on Stephenson, they could do so amid the celebration of the end of their five-game losing streak.

Trout, who had been out for a month with a bone bruise in his left knee, returned to the lineup as the DH, going 1 for 5 with two strikeouts.

The single was a blooper. The other two balls he put in play were a 107-mph liner and a 97-mph one-hopper, but both were outs. On the bases, the only real test for Trout was a slide into second base on Jo Adell’s infield hit.

“I felt good,” Trout said. “Caught myself on that one, the last one I hit. Once I knew he fielded it, I had to calm myself down a little bit. But other than that, felt all right.”

Even though Trout didn’t produce much, the rest of the offense did. Adell had three hits, including an RBI single in the second and a double in the eighth. Jorge Soler hit a homer — the 199th of his career — and drove in a run with a single.

The Angels totaled 13 hits, which was four more than they had in any of the games of the losing streak. They scored a total of five runs in those losses.

“I thought (the at-bats) were outstanding,” manager Ron Washington said. “We definitely worked their starting pitcher, and we went to some deep counts. And we put some runs on the board.”

On the mound, right-hander José Soriano worked six innings to get the Angels most of the way home.

When Soriano faced the Guardians earlier this season in Anaheim, he threw 14 sliders, an unusually high number for him. He got seven whiffs on 10 swings, but he also gave up a homer when he hung one.

If the Guardians were looking for the slider this time, Soriano didn’t oblige. He threw just one among his 96 pitches.

Soriano threw mostly sinkers, as usual, and the hitters mostly pounded them into the ground, as usual. Soriano got 14 of his 18 outs on 11 ground balls, including three double plays. Soriano leads the majors with 17 double plays induced. Teammate Jack Kochanowicz is second with 12.

“He was outstanding,” Washington said of Soriano. “He got quite a few ground balls. ... When he keeps the ball on the ground like he did, we know he’s got his good sinker.”

Left-hander Reid Detmers, who took over for Stephenson, worked a perfect seventh. Right-hander Ryan Zeferjahn pitched the eighth. Closer Kenley Jansen allowed the lone run on a hit and two walks in the ninth, even though Soler’s homer in the top of the inning removed the save situation.
