No team have ever swept both the Dodgers and Yankees in the same season. The Angels were on verge of history of doing so. All they had to do was win today. So what pitcher was up against this Yankee lineup? Tyler Anderson. ODD year Tyler Anderson. OH NO. Anderson went 6 innings, giving up 4 runs on 8 hits, striking out 4 and walking 2.
Yes, I will keep saying it, Anderson is good in even years, bad in odd years. We have proof and people keep denying it. His 2 All Star years? 2022 and 2024. His 3 worst years? 2023, 2021, 2019. So far, his 2025 looks more like his 2023 than his 2024, or 2022 for that matter.
Highlighted Recap
Mike Trout got things going with his 390th career home run in the first!
Too bad the Yankees tied it up immediately
Not to fear, Jo Adell is here!
WAIT! Rain Delay, put tarp on.
And Odd Year Anderson is here as well, giving up a home run in the 2nd.
Make that 2.
The Angels did get closer in the 6th thanks to Taylor Ward’s 19th home run of the year.
Sam Bachman came in for the 7th and in his 2nd game back, gave up the first run by an Angels RP this series.
And in the bottom of the 8th, rain delay again! Because we had one yes, but what about 2nd rain delay?
And that is when things fell apart. When play resumed, the Yankees scored again.
And AGAIN
Down 4 going into the top of the 9th, the Angels had to have a miracle to pull this out. They couldn’t. Angels lose, fail to sweep the MFY.
🙁
Upcoming
The Angels return home for 9 games. Astros, Red Sox, and Nats.
