The Angels briefly had a taste of what it felt like to have their head above water. Then they played the Cardinals. The only way they get above water here, of course, is with a two-game sweep. Yasiel “Wild Horse” Puig will be making his return to the Big A where he has a .313 AVG and 3 home runs in 9 games. He’s been on a tear as of late, with a .400 AVG and .449 OBP with 5 home runs over the past 2 weeks.
These two teams have faced each other only 12 times since they began playing in 2002 and the Angels are up in the series 8 games to 4, including a 3 game sweep in 2016.
