The Angels went down south to Georgia with a brand new offense. Grichuk and Cron were back on the Angels and looked to solve the RISP issue. Meanwhile, Chase Silseth was on the mound as Canning hurt himself, somehow. Chase went 5 innings giving up 1 run on 3 hits, striking out 4 and walking none. He could have gone more, but he was not allowed to.
So, what about those 2 prodigal Angels? Well, they went a combined 2-9 with a home run. 1 single with RISP though. While it finally snapped the 0-fer streak with RISO, the Angels in general were horrible with RISP yet again. All 3 home runs were solo shots and they had left 10 LOB.
Lopez, the other pitcher in the trade with the White Sox had a 5 out save as well!
