Many Angels fans, myself included, felt pretty confident going into this game. While I didn’t expect a sweep, Trevor Cahill had been pitching well, Mike Trout was back in the lineup, and the Angels had already beat Shelby Miller, a pitcher who hadn’t even thrown more than 3.2 innings in his pair of starts.
It wasn’t a total loss, at least for a few innings, as the Angels got off to a hot 3 run start in the top of the 1st. All signs were pointing to a great game for the Halos.
