The Angels got assaulted by the Giants today. Ryan Johnson was responsible for five runs in the third inning and another three in the fourth when Brent Suter coughed up a home run to Rafael Devers.
The Angels scored one run in the seventh inning on a Mike Trout RBI double play.
After that, both teams started replacing their starters. Zach Neto had been hit by a pitch and was removed. The word was that Neto was removed because of the score rather than because of injury. The Angels brought in Tyler Heineman to pitch the bottom of the eighth inning. He retired the side improving his season ERA to 10.38.
Jose Siri and Logan O’Hoppe hit back to back one out singles in the top of the ninth inning. Oswald Peraza struck out. Josh Lowe walked. Vaughn Grissom walked to drive in Jose Siri. 9-2 Giants.
Jose Soler grounded out to end the game.
