Astros’ offense makes Angels’ pitching bleed. Begin season 2-0!

What began as a low-scoring game finished being exactly the opposite. On Friday night, the Astros unleashed all their offense and smashed the Angels 13-6 to get their second win in a row, capped by an eight-run seventh inning. It was all because of a great night from prospect Jeremy Peña, Kyle Tucker Aledmys Díaz, Alex Bregman, and the Astros’ bullpen.

The night began with Jake Odorizzi on the mound challenging Angels’ No. 1 prospect Reid Detmers. Odorizzi didn’t have his best night, but survived against the trio formed by Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, and Anthony Rendon and managed to keep the Astros in the game.
