Tyler Anderson was tasked with continuing the Angels quality start streak. It didn’t look good early as the leadoff hitter Lars Nootbar took him deep.
The following inning Anderson gave up a solo shot to push the deficit to 2 runs. But the Angels clawed a little closer when Taylor Ward’s sacrifice fly plated Kyren Paris in the top of the third.
St. Louis extended their lead to 3-1 in the bottom of the 5th. Tyler Anderson left after 5, ending the streak of quality starts but with the Angels having a shot at a comeback.
Continuing the pattern, the Angels got that run back in the top of the 6th on a Mike Trout sacrifice fly that scored Taylor Ward. The score stayed 3-2 unto the top of the 7th.
That’s when everyone’s new favorite player Kyren Paris again displayed late game magic with a game tying triple. Luis Rengifo got a great jump at first base and this rocket down the line gave him plenty of time to head home.
Reid Detmers looked really good out of the bullpen today and kept the score knotted for an inning and two thirds. Ryan Zeferjahn knotted the other third inning. McDaniels and Burke managed to keep the game tied through 9 innings.
McDaniels was aided by a nifty play by Yoan Moncada. He’s looking the part with the glove. Need that bat to come around.
Free baseball!
Kyren Paris opened the top of the 10th with a walk. Luis Rengifo, the designated runner, came around to score when Nolan Schanuel sent a chopper to second and Luis beat the throw home. Paris then scored the Angels 5th run on a Mike Trout sacrifice fly.
Enter the straight to MLB rookie Ryan Johnson to lock it down. He allowed the free runner to score on a sacrifice fly. Then he got the K to seal the deal.
Light that baby up!
