The Angel offense started off on a good note Tuesday evening and never looked back as the threatening Tyler Mahle faced off against the struggling Andrew Heaney. While not a cakewalk, the game felt solidly out of hand for the Reds from the second inning onward. On the heels of a disappointing series in St. Louis, the Trouts would certainly take it.
Heaney certainly didn’t let the game start off on a good note. Keep in mind that the Reds have been one of the worst offenses in baseball, and only a recent surge (including a 3-game sweep of the Houston Astros) has kept them from the 3rd worst team wRC+ in the majors.
