Julio Teheran will be on the mound for the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night against the Oakland A's in Anaheim, Calif., hoping that he can improve on his only other start this season.
Behind the plate to guide him will be catcher Max Stassi.
Stassi is mostly known for his defensive skills and his ability to call a game. But Stassi, who was acquired by the Angels in a trade with the Houston Astros last year, has provided an unexpected offensive bonus this year.
Stassi, who has split the catching duties with Jason Castro, is second on the team in home runs (four), behind only Mike Trout (five), despite Trout having nearly twice as many at-bats.
