The San Francisco Giants bounced back from last night’s shutout loss and defeated the Los Angeles Angels 3-2.
Landen Roupp was in fine form, allowing just two runs on five hits with nine strikeouts and a walk in seven innings. He set the tone early, striking out the first three batters he faced and really only had trouble with Mike Trout. As you do. Trout was a one-man offense for the Angels, scoring both of their runs on solo homers. But he is Mike Trout. So, in Trout-adjusted terms, that’s basically a shutout.
It probably helped that Roupp entered the game with a two-run lead.
