Latest news and updates about the Angels
So if you saw the preview for this game yesterday, you read this: José Soriano was the Angels Opening Day starter. I daresay he wouldn’t have had that role for most other teams.

Some of you might have taken note of Owen Caissie’s two-run walk-off homer for the Marlins on Sunday. The other part of that deal, Edward Cabrera coming to the Cubs, also had a very good game for his new team. Cabrera was dominant over six innings, allowing just a walk and a fourth-inning single (and […]

The Ryan Johnson Express derailed; Cabrera was as advertised. Ian Happ homered. What did I tell you? Ryan will have better days. Dansby Swanson got his first hit of the season […]
