José Suarez makes push for Angels starting rotation with another impressive outing

NEW YORK —

Monday was starting to look like one of those nights for the Angels.

An early 2-0 lead against the Yankees had disappeared. With two outs in the second, Dylan Bundy suffered from heat exhaustion, and was forced to exit the game after throwing up behind the mound.

And as the grounds crew picked up the mess, left-handed reliever José Suarez took the ball facing his own cleanup job, inheriting one baserunner against a right-handed heavy Yankees lineup.

When Joe Maddon handed Suarez the ball, the Angels manager thought he’d have to calm down the 23-year-old.
