last night's win

Not much to complain about. A 8-run win last night helps the cause. Factor in putting up 7.4 runs per game. That pace keeps the score healthy.

Angels News

Mike Trout is making a bold statement this season, hitting five home runs against the Yankees in an 11-4 rout, as he positions himself for an MVP campaign with a solid .246 average and 7 homers already. However, the excitement is tempered by the tragic loss of Garret Anderson, a beloved franchise icon who passed away at just 53, leaving a significant void in the Angels’ history. On a brighter note, José Soriano is emerging as a potential ace, showcasing his skills after years of struggles, which could be crucial for the team’s pitching depth as they prepare to face the San Diego Padres. With a record of 10-10 and an impressive +18 run differential over the last week, the Angels are finding their rhythm, but the emotional weight of losing Anderson hangs heavy as they push forward.
