The Walgreens team is a great trading partner for the Angels. They have such a good offense with abysmal pitching. Too bad they did not buy from the Angels at the deadline. Oh well. Shopping at the Walgreens farm would be cool.
What else was cool as that G-Rod did well again today. He went 5 and a third giving up 2 runs (one by the bullpen) on 7 hits, striking out 4 and walking 1. You take that against this offense. What you don’t take is the dropped ball that allowed that 2nd run. We need Nolan healthy ASAP.
Highlighted Recap
Ball continues to Ball as he hits his 9th home run of the year in the 4th inning.
Neto joined in on the fun in the 5th hitting his 26th of 2026.
But the Nats came back in the 6th as an rbi hit
And a failed double play allowed the game to get tied up
Angels bullpen allowing a run really sucks for the SP but that is all on Grissom. Yes, it is an er since you cannot assume a gidp but come on!
But finally the Angels offense did something again in the 8th as some walks and a sb by Neto and an error by the ss allowed for a wild pitch to bring home a run!
Add a sac fly and it is 2 runs in an inning without a hit.
Of course the Angels blow it immediately as Murphy allows back to back hits to start the 8th.
And a 3rd hit to tie the game again.
And a 4th hit to give the Nats the lead
Peralta came in and gave up a SB and a single to make it even worse.
Angels tried in the 9th. Getting a run but it cost 2 outs.
Too little. Too late. Angels get swept.
Upcoming
