The LA Angels lost their weekend series to the Texas Rangers, but there are definitely positives to take away from it. The two new kids in town have both contributed in good ways, but Upton has done great at the plate while Phillips has been mediocre.
Upton did not get off to a great start with the Halos. With a routine pop fly, Upton botched it as he took his eyes off the ball. However, he made up for it later in the game with two hits and two runs.
Phillips’ debut was mediocre, as he went 1-5 with a walk and strikeout.
