Can the Angels get out of Texas please? I’ve hated games in the state of Texas even when the Angels were good. In the before times, in the long long ago… Now? With both of the Texas teams good while the Angels haven’t had a winning season in literally a decade? Oof.
Soriano tried to get a w in though. He was up against Patrick Corbin. Remember him? The Angels prospect turned trade bait turned world series winner for the Nats turned horrible contract? That guy was on Texas despite being one of the worst starters in Baseball the last few years. Surely Soriano can outdo him.
Well, Soriano went 5 and 2/3 innings giving up 3 runs on 10 hits striking out 2 and walking 2. So, no. He didn’t. That hurt. That one hurt a lot. What’s the opposite of a Cy rookie? Like, in age, but still expected to not be consistent or that good? Yeah. Angels got… Whatever that was. Corbin struck out nearly everyone.
Highlighted Recap
Rangers scored first with a couple of hits in the 2nd.
Add 2 more actually.
Meanwhile, Patrick Corbin was mowing the Angels down. He looked like the guy who won the world series in 2019, not the worst team in Baseball. But finally, in the 6th, the Angels finally scored on a bang bang play at the plate.
That’s all they could do though. At least this one wasn’t a shutout? Whatever. Angels lose a close one and their second series in a row.
Upcoming
One last one in Texas before Star Wars Weekend vs the Giants at the BIG A.
