While Matt Thaiss is still a work in progress, but he is starting to show the LA Angels that he belongs in the major leagues. Thaiss was recalled in on one of the most difficult nights of the season having to join the Angels in Texas on July 3rd to play the first game after the death of Tyler Skaggs. Thaiss was immediately put into the starting line-up against Texas and promptly got a double and scored a run helping the Angels to a 9-4 victory.
Thaiss has had his struggles at the plate and in the field, but he has persevered and on Sunday he got his biggest hit of his young career a 9th inning walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth that gave the Angels an improbable 5-4 victory that halted a three-game losing streak.
