The big news in the run-up to this game was that scheduled starter and Angels ace Garrett Richards will need Tommy John surgery. That meant that the start would go to 28-year old Cory Rasmus, and that the Angels would lean heavily on their bullpen.
Logan Forsythe, didn't waste any time. He lined the second pitch he saw to straight center field. Mike Trout had to go straight back, and his route was shaky, with a a little stumble as he tried to correct his angle. He got his glove to the ball but couldn't hold it, and Frosty had himself a double.
