Both teams entered Tuesday night’s game in completely different directions. The Philadelphia Phillies have enjoyed an outstanding homestand winning six out of their last seven.
The Los Angeles Angels on the other hand have had a brutal August, to the point where six players were put on waivers just a couple of hours before the game. Two of them had to play tonight’s contest.
Former Angel Michael Lorenzen, needed a bounce-back outing to get back on the right track after two tough nights against the Nationals and Giants. That’s not how things were trending in the second inning when Luis Rengifo stepped up to the plate.
