Matt Thaiss strolled to the plate in the bottom of the 8th inning in a tie ballgame, and knew exactly what he had to do. He had had arguably his best game as a pro thus far, with a single and a well-drawn walk. And then, he went ahead and iced the game with this jimmy jack to seal a series sweep against the flailing Mariners.
The #Angels needed a big hit and that's exactly what Matt Thaiss gave them. The 2016 1st-round pick came up clutch with a go-ahead blast in the 8th for his first #MLB homer.
