Ok, so there was that Mike Minor thing again. Angels lose 5-2 but there was good baseball in there. Jaime Barria’s scoreless inning streak ended in a bug way when he gave up a 4-run 2nd inning and that was pretty much ballgame. Oh well. At least Barria got a centerpiece from The Athletic, showcasing a new StatCast tool for pitchers.
The Halos, though, played the Rangers hard the other 17 frames.
We had things like Mike Trout busting his ass up the first base line to beat out an infield single.
