Colorado RockiesvsLos Angeles Angels
COL 4/LAA 11
Things to say
Angels beat the Rockies 11-4 at Angel Stadium.
01
opener
Angels just put up eleven on the Rockies. Halos bats were locked in start to finish. Colorado never really got into the game.
02
key player
The heart of the order did the damage — Angels middle of the lineup left the yard and basically ended it by the sixth.
03
hot take
Both clubs sitting at 24-39 and only one of them looked like a big league team tonight. Rockies pitching is cooked.
04
deep cut
Colorado's skipper went to the pen way too early, burned through arms in a seven-run game. That bullpen's gonna be gassed tomorrow.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the Halos can keep it rolling — they've got the rest of this series to make a statement.
The recap
Halos took the Rockies behind the woodshed at home, 11-4, and it wasn't really close after the middle innings. Colorado's starter got knocked around early, the manager went to the pen too early, and once the heart of the order in Anaheim got into his stuff a couple balls left the yard.
Both clubs are sitting at 24-39, but on this night the Angels did all the damage at the plate while Colorado's bullpen quietly imploded. Classic getaway-day blowout where one team showed up swinging and the other just wanted the flight home.
