Underneath the glow of Friday night lights, the Halos bullpen pitched their way to a 3-2 victory against the Texas Rangers with Shohei “Shotime” Ohtani (2.97 ERA) throwing a career-high 117 pitches and Raisel Iglesias earning his 30th save of the season.
After experiencing a hit to the wrist last weekend, Ohtani missed his start on Tuesday, causing fans to wonder if #17 was headed for the IL. However, that thought was quickly put to bed when the Angels announced that he would start tonight, and his performance on the mound was all the reassurance that fans needed.
