The Angels made the first trade of the offseason Thursday, acquiring slugger Jorge Soler for underachieving starting pitcher Griffin Canning.

Following a leadoff single from Michael Harris II, Jorge Soler hit a double to deep center that had Harris trying to score from first.

Jorge Soler led off the frame with a double to right, hitting a deep fly ball Mookie Betts couldn’t catch on the run.

And rather than building on a strong rookie season, Knack gave up five runs — including two-run homers each from Gio Urshela and Jorge Soler in the second inning — in a 64-pitch outing that was over by the start of the third.

Then, two batters later, Soler hit another towering drive, jumping on a hanging curveball for a two-run blast that carried over the Dodgers’ left-field bullpen.
