Tough Day at the Office for the Angels 🙁

Hey everyone, it's your dedicated Angels fan here to give you the rundown of yesterday's game against the Diamondbacks. Our boys looked to take on a challenging lineup but, sadly, couldn't bring home the win, falling to the D-backs 9-4.

Game Start - A Promising Beginning​

Things kicked off pretty evenly with both teams keeping the scoreboard clean in the 1st inning. Michael Stefanic, Luis Rengifo, and Taylor Ward were at the top of our batting but unfortunately, we couldn't capitalize early on. Our pitching initially seemed to hold up, keeping Arizona scoreless as well.

Diamondbacks Take the Lead​

The 2nd inning saw the Diamondbacks pull ahead, with Jake McCarthy and Corbin Carroll doing the major damage. Our boys fought back in the 3rd, with Ward hitting a double and bringing Stefanic home, followed by Kevin Pillar's double to even the score at 2-2 😃.

A Battle of Points​

However, the joy was short-lived as the D-backs pulled away in the 3rd, thanks to a homer by Randal Grichuk, and kept building their lead in the 5th and the 7th innings. Despite a homer by Ward in the 6th and relentless efforts from the team, the gap proved too wide 🙁.

Late Game Efforts​

Our Angels tried to rally in the late stages of the game. Matt Thaiss doubles in the 8th to bring in Mickey Moniak, but unfortunately, that's as close as we got. Tough night for our pitchers who struggled against a hot D-backs offense, and while our defense had some shining moments, it wasn't enough to turn the tide.

Closing Thoughts​

While it's tough swallowing this defeat, there were definitely some positives to take away. Taylor Ward continues to show up big for us, and it's great to see Logan O'Hoppe putting in solid efforts behind the plate. We're all in this together, team! Here's to hoping we bounce back in the next one. Keep supporting our Angels! 👏👏

Until next time, keep those rally caps ready and let's stay hopeful for a strong comeback. Go Angels! 🌟👼
