Hoby Milner’s 2020 season got off to a bad start immediately, and the Angels left-hander spent all year unsuccessfully playing catch-up.
Milner signed a minor league deal with the Angels last November and was a non-roster invitee in spring training. By the time the season started in July, Milner made the Opening Day roster, and was thrown into the fire immediately in the first game, in Oakland. It was a precarious situation for Milner to be sure, with the bases loaded and one out in a tie game, in MLB’s first game with the new runner-on-second-base rule in extra innings.
