Angels v. New York Pitching Battle

This was game was pretty much an Angels v. New York pitching battle and with 3 total runs scored this was a tense game. That is…opposed to how the Yankees games have been this month.

The Angels and Yankees are kinda at opposite ends of the spectrum right now. Except for the 8 run burst last night, the Angels just can’t seem to score runs while the Yankees seem to find them everywhere.

Heaney Still Pitching Well

Even without the run support, Andrew Heaney still pitched well. He only allowed one run on 4 hits over 6 1/3 innings. If only the bullpen and offense could get in gear during his outings. He’s throwing at a 1.45 ERA in his last 6 starts and hardly has anything to show for it. He really needs to get some run support.

The only real highlight for the offense was Trout who smacked a solo home run in the 5th to tie up the game. As a whole, the team left 7 runners on base and struggled to get hits once again. The only other time the Angels really threatened actually ended up in a battle of 100 MPH pitchers. After Justin Upton singled in the 8th, Aroldis Chapman came in, throwing over 100 MPH, and struck out Shohei Ohtani. While it didn’t end the way I wanted it was fun to see.

My Player of the Game goes to Heaney who deserved more support and hopefully will get some in his next start.
