The Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees are playing Game 2 of their 4-game series on Tuesday night. After an insane series opener in which the Yankees walked off by a wild pitch , the Angels have stormed out to an early lead in Game 2 after a massive first inning.
Mike Trout , Jo Adell , and Jorge Soler smashed back-to-back-to-back home runs off of lefty pitcher Ryan Weathers . Weathers is coming off one of the better starts of his career, when he pitched 8.0 innings and struck out seven in the loss to the Athletics . However, Trout started a barrage of homers early on in this one.
Trout now has five home runs on the season, but his batting average is currently only at .233. His OPS is around .900 as most of his hits continue to be big ones.
Jo Adell, who not too long ago had an insane three-home run robbery game, smashed a home run in the following at-bat. Adell is batting .319 on the season and is emerging as one of the best right fielders in the sport.
Now, you may be wondering why Soler is out there playing and not missing action due to his 9-game suspension. Because Soler is still appealing the suspension, he is allowed to play. The final decision should be announced soon, and then Soler will begin his suspension. Reynaldo Lopez is also appealing his suspension.
The Yankees are hoping to get back on track after the win in the series opener. After a very hot start, they have cooled off a ton. The Angels are playing very well with an 8-9 record, better than most predicted.
