It was Jackie Robinson Day, and everyone was wearing 42. Now Yankees fans will be annoying about it due to Mariano Rivera, but it isn’t about him.
How was the SP 42 doing today? Well, Jack of 1 trade did a good job having more than 1 as he went 6 and 2/3 innings, giving up 3 runs on 4 hits, striking out 6 and walking 4. A Quality Start against the MFY. That is all we could ask for.
The Hitters, the team had to survive without Soler for the next 4 games, as his suspension appeal finally was dealt with. Luckily, Trout has been even hotter and the team as a whole has been doing well offensively as of late, even if they strike out a ton.
Highlighted Recap
Things started badly with a Judge home run in the first
And then 2 more were allowed in the 2nd
It could have been worse, but Fraizer made a great play.
And then hit a home run in the 3rd.
In the 5th, Logan hit his first home run of the season, making it a 1 run game.
And then Mike Trout gave the Angels the lead soon after.
Mike Trout had now hit 4 home runs this series!
Jack K left after 6 and 2/3 with the lead, and the next pitcher was bailed out by a great play by Fraizer.
Romano came out to close, and he again was wild. Panic set in for the Angel fans, luckily, defense bailed him out of an extra base hit.
And then made it worse by having a ball drop in the INFIELD ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
A walk and a base hit means Yankees win. Angels lose TWICE this series in stupid STIUPID ways.
Upcoming
Angels have one more in NYC tomorrow morning and then face the Padres at the Big A. We are meeting up on Sunday, in time for Soler to come back!
