With the series tied 1-1 the Angels send out Kyle Hendricks to try and win a series against a much, much better team. It would take a miracle. Fitting, for the series. So who will God help today? Are there indeed Angels in the Outfield? Or a Padre in the bullpen? I’m just winging it here.
Hendricks went 6 innings giving up 3 runs on 5 hits striking out 4 and walking 1. A quality start. Huh. He took that first inning home run and was able to shut them down the other 5 innings. Not bad all things considered. Still left in line for the loss with Detmers coming in. Joy.
Highlighted Recap
The Padres struck first in the first with the best play in Baseball
But Ward got one of those back with a home run of his own in the 2nd
After that it became a pitching duel. With the Angels striking out and wasting opportunities and the Padres being held in check somehow.
Well that is until 2 outs in the 8th when, after an error, the Padres scored again.
Suarez came back in for the Padres after losing it on Monday despite it not being a save situation. And Angels lose.
Upcoming
No game tomorrow. But Dodgers this weekend at Dodger Stadium. They are down so many pitchers this HAS to be the Angels best chance to win a series against them.
