It doesn’t matter that it’s the first game. Starting 1-0 is a whole lot better than starting 0-1. The Angels used a two-run rally in the eighth inning to come from behind and defeat the White Sox in their season opener, 4-3.
Entering the bottom of the eighth inning, the Halos were trailing 3-2. David Fletcher, who signed an extension with the Angels earlier in the afternoon, singled to lead off the inning. Shohei Ohtani then advanced Fletcher over to second. Mike Trout did Mike Trout things, singling in Fletcher to tie the game up at three a piece.
