For the second straight game, the Los Angeles Angels have turned to a new closer over incumbent Hansel Robles.

Los Angeles Angels’ manager Joe Maddon has already shown that he isn’t one to tip his hand. Rather, he’s let actions speak louder than words, something he showed again on Tuesday.

Clinging to a two-run lead with two outs in the eighth inning, the Angels were staring at another potential bullpen meltdown. With the tying run coming to the plate in the form of Evan White, Maddon opted to his bullpen for the fourth time and summoned his closer.
