After putting together two straight all-around team victories to start the weekend against the Rangers, the Angels could not keep the good mojo going on Sunday afternoon, dropping their matinee contest by a final of 7-3 thanks mainly to some early missed opportunities and unforced errors that dug them too big of a hole to get out of.
The Halos handed the ball to the debuting Janson Junk to start Sunday’s game, and the rookie showed some moxie early into his first major-league outing. After a pair of base hits from Leody Taveras and Isiah Kiner-Falefa put the first two runners of the game on board, Junk swiftly worked out of his own jam by getting the dangerous Adolis Garcia to fly out and Nathaniel Lowe to ground into a double play turned nicely by Luis Rengifo and David Fletcher.
