In the second inning, Luis Rengifo scored one on a groundout.
Christian Moore made a nice shovel play to keep it 1-0.
Then Taylor Ward made it 2-0 with a homer.
Obviously, being up by two in the third inning is a good thing.
In the fourth Sebastian Rivero reached on an error scoring Oswald Peraza, which is pretty cool.. 3-0 Angels.
Randall Grichuk homered in the fourth to make it 3-1 Angels.
In the top of the seventh, the Royals got a hit by pitch (Mike Yastremski), a Jonathan India groundout that advanced Yastremski to second. Then Carter Jensen singled to make it 3-2 Angels.
Nolan Schanuel walked and Yoan Moncada doubled to create one of the best Angels scoring opportunities of the game. Jo Adell struck out to end the inning. I’m sure he meant well.
Nothing happened in the eighth inning. 3-2 Angels.
Strikeout, goundout, Kenley Jansen waved that one. Good enough is enough. Angels win 3-2.

The Angels won??????
[frantically checks MLB rule book]
Yes, apparently that is allowed.
Didn’t look like there were a lot of people there, Tuesday night was not very crowded either.
Kikuchi looked great early.
Had a fun night at the ballpark with a good friend.
Would love to have Garcia on the Angels. Kid can play.
Hah, coincidentally ended up at the same game again. We were there with tickets from the Angels RBI program — brought a few friends and bumped into some other kids who were on the same team. The home run fireworks and the Kenley Jansen intro are fun for the kids.
Cool. I guess.
We want to avoid 90 losses and Houston’s woes will help since they’ll likely be eliminated by the time we see them
Damn… I wanted us to stick the dagger in for the mathematical elimination.
Fun write up. Thanks.

Lipstick on a pig?
Pork chops is good. Bacon is good.
Glad to see Kikuchi conclude the campaign with a W.
Why didn’t Trout play? Are we actively attempting to avoid being crowned the strikeout kings of league history as a team?
He probably had a zoom call with the PGA and Tiger regarding the golf course construction.
