The Angels are the AL Mets. It has been known. The first expansion teams, always in the shadow of the baseball giants of NY and LA, injured all the time with wasted talent, they are the same.
Canning was on the mound and he did great. 7 innings of 1 run ball and 9 K with only 1 walk. Excellent. Unfortunately, his opponent matched him exactly as offense was rare today.
Indeed the Angels on;y mustered up 4 hits today and Rengifo had 2 of them. You need more than that to win games but that ship has sailed, really.
Highlighted Recap
It was a low scoring affair today with no one scoring in the first 3 innings. Mets score first in the 4th.
But the Angels tie it up in the 7th thanks to CHAD being back!
International fugitive Luis Rengifo gave the Angels the lead with a home run in the 8th!
But the Mets tie it up right away.
And Lopez couldn’t get anyone out in the 9th, Angels lose on walkoff.
Upcoming
Angels lose and will play more games this year, not that we would like to watch them. Phillies up next though, with no Mike Trout which means everyone will talk about Mike Trout and football season. Ugh.
