The Angels handed Caden Dana the ball for the relatively prestigious opportunity to be the starting pitcher in a prospect showcase game. He responded with a disappointing performance, allowing four runs and failing to get out of the first inning in the Angels’ 8-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs as part of the Spring Breakout series on Saturday night. For the second straight year, Major League Baseball orchestrated a weekend in which each organization played a game with a team of its best prospects. The Angels used seven of their top 10, according to Baseball America, including Dana, who is No. 1. Dana threw 34 pitches and recorded just two outs. He gave up four hits and walked two. After that, the game settled down for the Angels. Right-hander George Klassen (No. 4) pitched a scoreless second inning. The Angels also got a scoreless inning from Chris Cortez (No. 11). The game didn’t get out of hand until Najer Victor, who is not even in the top 30, gave up three runs in the seventh. Offensively, the Angels managed five hits. The starting lineup included four top 10 prospects: second baseman Christian Moore (No. 2), center fielder Nelson Rada (No. 5), shortstop Denzer Guzman (No. 8) and catcher Juan Flores (No. 9). Rada was the only top 10 prospect who factored into the offense. He led off the game with a single, stole second and scored on a Cole Fontenelle hit. Fontenelle added a homer in the ninth. Right fielder Randy De Jesus blasted a homer in the fifth. The Angels also brought 17-year-old Joswa Lugo (No. 6) off the bench as the designated hitter. He grounded out in his only at-bat.
