Morning Baseball. Stupid timezones. Then again, the alternative to time zones is the number being meaningless to determine what is good or not for people where, as while, sure, we can all ask if 12 is good for you or not, that means noon to a few, and like, complete darkness to half of humanity. So, if people were more open to being awake at different hours regardless of sunlight maybe, but until then, we are stuck with this, and morning Baseball.
Anyway, what unlucky pitcher had to have the time zone shift to start today? Grayson Rodriguez. Well, he is 26, so, he should adjust pretty easily. He went 5 innings, giving up 1 run on 2 hits, striking out 5 and walking 2. Hey, not bad. Remember, he is pre arb, so that trade with Baltimore to get him is about the future. This team would still suck with Taylor Ward out in LF.
We really should have seen this series win coming. because, despite being bad, the Angels have beaten the Tigers the most out of any AL opponent.
Highlighted Recap
Tigers roared first with a solo HR in the 2nd.
And there it stayed until the 5th, when the Angels tied it up.
This is the power of PIZZA, as the Tigers Mascot foolishly gave the Angels booth a Detroit Style Little Caesar’s Pizza.
And the Angels took the lead as the hits kept coming.
As well as a sac fly
G-Rod was in line for the win, as long as the bullpen held up. Good thing the offense extended the lead, scoring again in the 8th.
Make that 2 runs
While Bachman did load the bases in the 8th, he got out there unscathed. Still, Trout felt it necessary to add 2 more runs in the 9th, just in case…
The Angels Bullpen did a good job today, 4 innings of shutout Baseball, allowing only 1 hit. They did walk 5 batters though. Anyway, Angels win! Back to back Series wins for the first time all season.
Upcoming
Angels go to Tampa Bay and then get to go back home for the Rockies next week.
