ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. —  José Suarez is continuing to show the stuff that encouraged the Angels to bring the 21-year-old to the majors.
Suarez was dominant for most of his outing in the Angels’ 5-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday afternoon, the team’s fourth victory in five games.
Suarez gave up three runs in 5 2/3 innings, all the runs scoring on a homer by Yandy Diaz in the sixth. Suarez has allowed eight runs in 16 innings, but he’s had stretches within each game that showed how much better he could be.
He needed just 64 pitches to get through the first five innings Saturday, without allowing a run. He struck out three and allowed just two singles.
Leaning heavily on his changeup, Suarez sliced through the Rays hitters twice through the lineup.
In the sixth, though, the Rays got their third look at him, and the results were different. Avisail García lined a solid single to left and then Tommy Pham dumped a blooper into right. Austin Meadows then hit a fly ball to the warning track in center.
The ballpark barely held that one, but it couldn’t hold Diaz’s drive to right-center on a 3-and-1 changeup. The three-run homer erased much of a 4-0 lead.
Relievers Cam Bedrosian, Ty Buttrey and Hansel Robles made the lead hold up, a day after the bullpen had blown a four-run lead.

If you calculate the average total runs scored in the last 5 games it equals 9.  If  you add the Angel’s winning runs (5+5+5+5) and subtract the winning runs Tampa scored it equals 11. (20-9=11). When you put the two answers together, you get 9/11.
Wake up sheeple!!!!

First HR allowed by Morton to a rh batter

You're welcome

Total mistake of a signing that would have been a bigger mistake had they chosen to continue to keep him on the roster.   Harvey is likely next.

I wish Ohtani deserved the All Star Game ?

Jesus, Shohei. Off the bat my first thought was "I hope that splits the defenders and he can get a double."
It never occurred to me that might go out. Dude is strong.
