The best the Angels have couldn’t get it done Thursday night (possibly, subject to have changed by game’s end). Mike Trout struck out looking twice with runners in scoring position. Ty Buttrey blew the save. Hansel Robles allowed the go-ahead run to score on a Trey Mancini solo home run. Andrelton Simmons didn’t even start and managed to make an error.
José Suarez needs to find some length in his starts. He went 4.1 innings, allowing two runs, and was beginning to slip towards the end. BBB didn’t let him see the lineup a third time.
