Nothing beats kicking off a Freeway Series, but while fans definitely readied themselves with certain expectations like seeing Albert Pujols for the first time in Dodger Blue and catching the interesting matchup between Patrick Sandoval and David Price, what they didn’t expect was an extra inning. However, the Halos had no intention of going down without a fight, and the fire of the final inning led to a close 4-3 victory.
The Halos flew back to Los Angeles with high hopes after claiming three wins against the Texas Rangers in a four game series, and despite a bad case of cold bats and a tentative start on the mound for Patrick Sandoval, the Angels came out on top against the Dodgers on Friday with the help of a solid bullpen, led by Sandoval and anchored by José Quijada, Sam Selman and the most controlled relief pitcher of the evening - Angels newbie Austin Warren.
