This team is a joy to watch and full of heart. That was on display tonight as they battled neck and neck with a tough Diamondbacks team all night. The score was tied headed to the bottom of the 9th when Travis d’Arnaud pinch hit and drove in fellow catcher Logan O’Hoppe for the game winning run.
This was the second walk off win for the Angels this week and third dramatic victory of the home stand. When they are fun to watch, they are really fun to watch.
Nolan Schanuel had a three hit night and both Zach Neto and Yoan Moncada blasted home runs in the bottom of the first inning to stake the Halos to a 4-0 lead. The towering shot by Moncada was the 100th home run of his career. It is easy to see him play and imagine “what if?” he could stay healthy.
So buckle up, folks. We never know what we’re going to get when we turn on an Angels game this year. They play again tomorrow night. I’ll definitely tune in.
