Brandon Marsh woke up in a panic Saturday night.
His hotel phone was ringing. There were several missed calls on his cell. At first, he was afraid he’d overslept and missed a triple-A game on Sunday afternoon.
But then he looked at the clock, returned the missed calls and soon found out he needed to get on a plane instead.
For the first time in his career, Marsh was being called up to the majors.
“It was one of the best calls I’ve ever received,” he said.
In his MLB debut Sunday, Marsh went hitless while starting in center field during the Angels’ 7-4 loss to the Seattle Mariners at Angel Stadium.
