Can Tyler Anderson tank as well as Griffin Canning? Well: I think he can.
Inning 1:
Matt Vierling walked. Andy Ibanez singled. Then Anderson got two guys to strike out and then Miguel Cabrera flied out. Nolan Schanuel singled, Zach Neto walked, Drury struck out, O’Hoppe struck out, and Jared Walsh flied out to center. Not much of an inning.
Inning 2:
Tyler Nevin doubled. Javier Baez walked. Carson Kelly lined out and then Zach Short homered to make it 3-0 Tigers. Andy Ibanez struck out to end the inning. David Fletcher walked. Brett Phillips struck out. Kyren Paris struck out. Jordyn Adams flied out to center.
Inning 3:
Spencer Torkelson and Kerry Carpenter both struck out. Miguel Cabrera grounded out to short. Nolan (No Power) Schanuel homered to make it 3-1 Tigers. I wonder if he’s going to be able to get that ball back.
Zach Neto struck out looking. Brandon Drury walked. Logan O’Hoppe struck out swinging. So did Jared Walsh.
Inning 4:
Tyler Nevin walked. Javi Baez lined out to left. Carson Kelly flied out to center. Zach Short also walked “driving” Tyler Nevin to second. Matt Vierling flied out to right field. David Fletcher struck out. Brett Phillips, who will probably be pitching late innings tonight, also struck out. Kyren (can HE pitch) Paris struck out swinging.
Inning 5:
Andy Ibanez lined out straight to Anderson.
Spencer Torkelson struck out. Kerry Carpenter walked. Miguel (MVP?) Cabrera singled. Kerry Carpenter scored. 4-1 Tigers. If you know, you know.
Tyler Nevin struck out swinging. Jordyn Adams lined out to third. Sham Wow flied out to left. Zach Neto struck out swinging.
Inning 6:
Andrew Wantz came in to pitch. Javier Baez flied out. Carson Kelly struck out looking. Zach Short lined out to second. Brandon Drury struck out swinging. That makes 13 Ks for the Angels so far. Logan O’Hoppe struck out looking. (14 now.) Jared Walsh grounded out to second.
Inning 7:
Jimmy Herget came in to pitch. Ha! He did strike out Matt Vierling swinging. Pinch hitter Akil Baddoo also struck out swinging. Spencer Torkelson popped out to Zach Neto at short. Who is this pitcher and what have you done with Jimmy Herget? David Fletcher popped out to second. Brett Phillips grounded out to first. Kyren Paris … well you know. (15)
Inning 8:
Now Jose Suarez came in to pitch. Kerry Carpenter flied out to left. Miguel Cabrera grounded out. Tyler Nevin singled. Javier Baez walked. Carson Kelly flied out to right field. Jordyn Adams grounded out to shortstop Javier Baez. Nolan Schanuel flied out to Akil Baddoo in left. Zach Neto grounded out to Tyler Nevin at third.
Inning 9:
Unfortunately, we aren’t losing badly enough for Phillips to pitch. Carlos Estevez came in to pitch. He issued your basic four pitch walk to Martin Short, I mean Zach Short. Matt Vierling struck out. Short stole second base while Akil Baddoo was in the process of drawing a six pitch walk. Spencer Torkelson popped out to first. Kerry Carpenter struck out. Brandon Drury grounded out to short. Logan O’Hoppe singled on a liner to center field. Yet another ninth inning homer for Jared Walsh suddenly made things interesting. 4-3 Tigers.
David Fletcher struck out swinging for the second out. Brett Phillips then homered to tie the game at 4-4. Kyren Paris then struck out. Here is Phillips:
Inning 10:
Jose Soriano came in to pitch. Uh oh! Miguel Cabrera singled to drive in ghost runner Kerry Carpenter. 5-4 Tigers. Tyler Nevin flied out to center. Javier Baez struck out swinging. Pinch Runner Parker Meadows stole second base while Carson Kelly was batting. Kelly proceeded to strike out swinging. Eduardo Escobar pinch hit for Jordyn Adams and struck out swinging. Nolan Schanuel singled on a grounder to third. The ghost runner couldn’t advance. Zach Neto struck out (18 for the team). Brandon Drury lined out to center. Game over man! Game over.
