Baltimore OriolesvsLos Angeles Angels
BAL 6/LAA 1
Things to say
The Orioles beat the Angels 6-1 on the road at Angel Stadium.
01
opener
Birds took it 6-1 in Anaheim. Never really felt close after the middle innings. Baltimore's just the better club right now.
02
key player
Whoever toed the rubber for the O's was filthy — kept the Angels off the board until garbage time and walked nobody. That's how you steal a getaway day.
03
hot take
One run at home? The Angels' lineup is a mirage. Trout and a bunch of guys, same story every year.
04
deep cut
Orioles bullpen barely got touched. They've quietly got one of the better WHIP arms in that pen and nobody's talking about it.
05
exit
Anyway, O's are climbing. Curious if they can keep it rolling the rest of this road trip.
The recap
Baltimore rolled into Anaheim and grabbed a getaway-day win, knocking off the Angels 6-1. The bats did the heavy lifting early and never let the Halos back in it, while the pitching kept Los Angeles to a single run all night.
The Angels just couldn't string anything together against Orioles arms that got into their stuff. Easy afternoon for Baltimore, who climb back toward .500 at 38-42 while LA drops to 32-48.
