Houston AstrosvsLos Angeles Angels
HOU 1/LAA 10
Things to say
Angels routed the Astros 10-1 at Angel Stadium.
01
opener
Angels just put a ten-spot on Houston. Final was 10-1. Not even close, dude.
02
key player
Whoever the Halos ran out there got into his stuff early — Astros bats looked like they were swinging at shadows.
03
hot take
Houston's supposed to be the class of the AL West and they just got bullied by a 26-win team. That's a problem.
04
deep cut
Astros manager left the starter in way too long. By the time he went to the pen, the heart of the order had already left the yard.
05
exit
Anyway, getaway day tomorrow — curious if Houston can stop the bleeding before they fly out.
The recap
Halos absolutely waxed Houston 10-1 at the Big A, and it wasn't even that close. Angels bats got into the Astros starter early and never let up, while whoever they ran out there shoved enough to keep the heart of the order quiet all night.
Houston's manager went to the pen way too early and it snowballed from there. Getaway day in Anaheim and the Astros just wanted out of California.
