Final game in KC, and the Angels had a chance for a road sweep. All they had to do was win today with Hendricks on the mound. Well, the old vet is the exact opposite of last night’s rookie. A slow throwing precision pitcher where the fast ball is 87 and not 97. How did that go anyway? Well, he went 6 innings giving up 2 runs on 3 hits striking out NONE and walking 3. A poor quality start, but a quality start nonetheless.
Too bad he did not get the win, as the bullpen blew the lead for him. Or maybe you can blame the offense that kept leaving men on in scoring position all game. 4 LOBSTERS in 8 innings isn’t horrible, but with how thin the margins were today, it shares some of the blame.
Highlighted Recap
The Angels struck first with a 3 run home run in the first inning by Luis Rengifo.
Too bad Hendricks gave up a hr as well in the 2nd for Frazier’s 1k hit
Hendricks gave up yet another home run in the 4th.
Just 2 ER for Hendricks, yet another good start by this rotation. Too bad he wouldn’t get the win as Fermin gave up a home run in the 7th.
That is 4 home runs in this game, 1 by the Angels, 3 by the Royals. What kind of modern baseball is this?
Make that 5 home runs, as the Royals hit their 4th in the 8th.
Angels faced Estevez in the 9th, their old closer. He made quick work of the Halos. Angels lose 4-3.
