Los Angeles AngelsvsLos Angeles Dodgers
LAA 13/LAD 5
Things to say
The Angels routed the Dodgers 13-5 at Dodger Stadium in the Freeway Series.
01
opener
Angels straight up torched the Dodgers last night, 13-5. At Dodger Stadium. The Halos do not lose like that, but the Dodgers sure did.
02
key player
Whoever was on the bump for LA got into nothing — Angels were sitting on the heater and leaving the yard all night.
03
hot take
Roberts went to the pen way too early and it cracked the door wide open. You can't burn your middle relief in June.
04
deep cut
Angels are 25-41 and just dropped a 13-spot on the defending champs. That's a getaway-day box score in a Saturday primetime slot.
05
exit
Anyway — Freeway Series rolls on tonight, curious if Ohtani makes them pay for it.
The recap
Freeway Series stunner at Chavez Ravine, and it was the Halos doing the stunning. Angels piled up 13 on the Dodgers, and once they got into the Dodger starter's stuff, the manager went to the pen way too early and it just kept bleeding.
The heart of the Angels' order was leaving the yard all night, turning what looked like a tight NL West showcase into batting practice. Brutal getaway-day vibe for LA blue, while the Halos walk out of their crosstown rivals' park with a statement W.
