It’s been an eventful weekend full of firsts for the Angels bullpen, and tonight was no exception. After Shohei Ohtani threw a career-high 117 pitches last night, José Suarez (3.67 ERA) took to the hill with hopes of securing his first career win at the Big A against the Texas Rangers, but the left handed pitcher did much more than that — pitching the game from start to finish and keeping the Rangers offense stagnant while Ohtani lit up the scoreboard with his 43rd home run of the season.
Tonight marked Suarez’s 10th start on the mound, and after dealing 9 innings, he became the first Angels starter to complete a game this season, and it only took him 100 pitches to do it.
