However, in the last week the Los Angeles Angels have been getting good starting pitching and timely hitting in winning eight of their last 11 games including Tuesday night’s 8-1 trouncing of the A’s in Anaheim. Jefry Marte provided the big blow which was a fourth inning grand slam that was part of a seven-run inning to back starter Ricky Nolasco who pitched eight strong innings for his eighth victory of the season.
Marte’s blast off of A’s starter Daniel Mengden extending the Angels 1-0 lead to five. It was Marte’s 13th homer of the season and he now has 42 RBI’s.
