Can Kyle Hendricks keep the Angels streak alive?
Nothing really happened until the bottom of the second inning. Shea Langoliers singled Nick Kurtz got a two out single to put men at first and third. Luis Urias singled to drive in Shea Langoliers and make it 1-0 Athletics.
The next thing of note, Yoan Moncada was awarded a strike three as a pitch clock violation in the top of the fourth inning. Logan O’Hoppe homered to tie the game. 1-1.
Travis d’Arnaud singled. Jo Adell grounded into a force out.
Shea Langoliers homered to center to make it 2-1 Athletics. Then Miguel Andujar doubled to put a man in scoring position with no outs. No problem, Colonel Kurtz homered t make it 4-1 Athletics.
In the top of the fifth, Luis Rengifo singled and Kyren Paris walked. Yoan Moncada hit a three run homer to make it 4-4.
Taylor Ward then contributed a two out double. Logan O’Hoppe singled to left and scored Ward. 5-4 Angels.
There Angels 5-4.

Like a lot of you guys, I’m enjoying an actual little winning streak, all the while getting that feeling like we’re on Candid Camera, or about to be trAditionally punked with a 10-game losing streak or something like that.
Like: MNT’s getting ready to comeback, and the thought crossed your mind that he’d just cause us to lose again, somehow. It’s insane what not making the playoffs since 2014 does to ya, innit?
Firing on all cylinders now!
Oh man… this has been such a nice respite. When you’ve been objectively shite for as long as we have, even little pockets of mediocrity feel like the golden age of the mid-aughts again. I know it can’t last, but I’m gonna enjoy every second of it. Paris’s ABs looked good—got fooked by that terrible ump, though.
Heck of a ride right now.
Such a great game by Paris and the kids.
His speed is such a C-tease. It’s easy to get bricked up just thinking about him having even a mid-tier OBP and walk rate. He could cause so much chaos on the basepaths and be such a boost at the bottom of the lineup..
Especially as his defense improves. But where would Rada play?
Rada is still 16 years old
I know it end soon; winning streaks are fun and sweeping the A’s would even be the Cherry on top, fun, fun, fun.
Jansen has closed 4 games in the last 5 days.
Someone call the police. This is elderly abuse.
😂
Why not. He’s only signed for one year. Use him, until we use him up.
Whoa Whoa Whoa there ML.
The correct answer is: Use him until the Mid Season Trade deadline and then trade him for a busload of real prospects.
Sound familiar?
Aren’t we allowed to hope for a little while?
Angels are playing alive, that ain’t no jive. 😜
Good times! Born to be alive!
