Angels vs. Cardinals Game Highlights (4/1/25) | MLB Highlights

Excited for this the twenty twenty five debut of the twenty five year old Matthew Libertor such a weapon a year ago specifically out of the pen he came in lengthened out as a starter won a job with a dominant spring and what we got is a first batter strikeout slider takes care of Ward for out number one Matthew Libertor he showed off the easy fastball at ninety five ninety six a breaking ball in this one in the back door slider not sure he was trying to put it right there but it ended up working out perfectly ran he fought two for sixteen on the season 0 4 3 here last night sharply hit a sinking line drive handled by Alec Burleson to his left two up two down for Libertor and here's Mike Trout a swing a foul tip he hangs on strike three trout strikes out and one two three go the angels with the Cardinals coming up at Busch Stadium. Well here's a bonafide Chicago Cub hero now making his angels debut and against a team he's had a lot of success against here in St. Louis Kyle Hendricks on the mound. Yeah. Fourteen to four in his career seven and two here in this ballpark. Lars Neupahr has done a great job in the lead off spot broken bat turns into gold. Newt Barr has a lead off single his third hit of the series didn't have to be hit hard but he did think up the middle. This is a change up. It was well off the plate fading away from Hendricks. That's a good pitch. Here's the one two and that is lifted in the air. It's hit pretty well going back on it and now on the track reaching up making the catch is Taylor Ward tagging and moving from first to second on that fly ball to the warning track is Neupahr. So it's deep enough for that runner to advance. Brendan Donovan who had a home run in last night's game will be the next batter two balls and a strike. Donovan lines when a left field Taylor Ward comes in moves over and makes the catch two balls and two strikes on our Nauta with two outs and a man on second. Here's the pitch and this is bounced off his glove. Karim's over to Ren Hefoe. The throw to first is in time and that's how the inning lands. It'll go down one for three. So Gorman three for four in his debut leads off the second. The Cardinals have the game's only hit swing drive deep to right. Trout back twisting turning the wrong way. That ball ricochets off the base of the fence and Gorman has another hit a rigging leadoff double. Well everything from Nolan Gorman early in this season has been allowed. This one it's a change up. It hangs up. Here's Jordan Walker. Let's see if he can advance the runner and perhaps pick up an RBI shot toward second and past Ren Hefoe. Here comes Gorman around third Adele's throw is going to be cut off. Jordan Walker with an RBI single and the Cardinals strike first that right there is the exact approach that you needed to have against Hendricks. Scott is five for 15 with two runs scored a double that's hammered toward right that's down in front of Trout on a big hop. Cardinals are being very patient. I make you hit it on the head partner. They are letting the ball travel. The runners lead at first and second. The runners go pitch cut on missed Darnell's throw is high at third. It's a double steal for the Cardinals Mason Wynn down on strikes and Heather two outs to one pitch. This is a fly ball hit into shallow right. Trout is there waiting he'll put it away and that's how the inning will end. Tim Anderson is the batter. Oh and one is the count on the Angel shortstop who swings at this one and he's going to drop one into left field for a base hit falls a few feet in front of Newt Barr and left. And that is the Angels first hit of the ball game a two out single and Taylor Ward will be the next batter pitch on its way. This is lifted in the air to right field that's going to drop in for a base hit and going first to third will be Anderson Taylor Ward picks up a two out hit and the Angels have him at the corners now need a hit from Ren Hefo. And now the Angels have an opportunity to tie this game up in the Angels two for 19 with runners in scoring position runners at the corners here in the pitch and Ren Hefo with a shot in the left field that's going to drop in and bounce out near the corner a run is scored. Angels are going to have runners at second and third on an RBI double three straight two out hits the game's tied at one. See how Trout does here with a chance to give the Angels the lead as he wrecks one fair down the left field line it scores two runs Ward and Ren Hefo are in and there's Mike Trout coming through a two run double to make it three one Halos and Mike Trout gets a cutter on the inner third at eighty eight and just hits it a missile right down that third base line. Jordan Walker has the lone Cardinals RBI. Whistled a single under the glove of Ren Hefo and brought home Gorman back in the second swing and a drive to center Adele going back at the track at the wall dead central home run for Walker. That was a big league at bat Jordan Walker with his first home run of the twenty twenty five campaign a four hundred and nineteen foot shot to dead center field Alec Burleson old for two. He has flied out and tapped back to the mound that one loop down the left field line it might turn to gold and it will Burleson with a bloop single represents the tying run but he finds some green grass and there's a start. Here's a ground ball as Ren Hefo grabs it flip to Anderson one over to first to a double play inning ending double play as the angels turn that one two balls two strikes on Ren Hefo lines one to left field that's a base hit Ren Hefo two for three now and he's on to begin the sixth inning gets a little bigger lead now as Libertadores used up both disengagements for this batter the runner goes the pitch is a ball the throw to second it's a strike right on the bag to Donovan Ren Hefo is tagged out one out about that throw by Hayes right on the money and he had a pretty decent job but he had a wonderful jump so that erases the leadoff single and it's two and two on three time MVP Mike Trout to left center Victor on the run he's gone as far as he can go in the park will hold it. Trout just missed big side relief for Libertador there's out number two the kick the pitch Soler takes strike three just above the knees for strikeouts for Libertador Kyle Hendricks in this at bat the last three pitches he went to fastballs both in and then that last one was a change up swing and a miss strikeout their ball don't lie yes got him out in front off balance again the professor change piece that'll cut change up to full count on Nolan Gorman swing and a miss strike three said he comes with a sick and runs it back he did it Greg Maddux there in that whole sequence he threw a cut a four seam cut fastball in and then he throws the sinker Hendricks taking some time between pitches and the next delivery and this is popped in the air out towards shortstop and there is Tim Anderson to make the catch and that is how the inning will end. So new bar leads off the eighth inning one ball two strikes line in the left center field down for a hit. New Barr thought about two but slams on the brakes and pitch a hundred two miles an hour and new bar represents the tying run and a lead off single little chopper right side that is good to advance the runner. So Burleson a productive out now Brendan Donovan bats little chopper tough play at second right. He throws across his body and the runner new bar to third now two men around Arnotto 0 4 3 tonight ground out fly out a strikeout little right side race to the back. Sean you are a pro the ball sails into the Cardinals dugout and the game is tied at three. You knew that was trouble as soon as Sean you all drop down that arm and tried to sling it over to Ben Joyce another example of just put the ball in play. The Cardinals get a huge break to tie it at three. Here's Victor Scott with two outs. He's a guy who can really wreak havoc. Looping fly ball easy for Joe Adele Kenley Jensen one two three angels and cards go to extra innings. We're headed to the 10th. We're tied at three. So here's Sean Awell and you know he'd like to do something here and on two and two Chanois lines one toward right center field after it is Scott. He can't get it. He bounces to the wall. Paris scores. Malkota is right behind him. Sean Awell is on his way to third. It's redemption for Nolan Sean Awell and the angels are back in front. Adele has played Pepper at third base three times. And here's the pitch. And there's one bounce through the left side. That's going to be an RBI hit. Adele delivers the angels add on and now it's six to three here in the 10th inning. And both runners are going to be able to advance Victor Scott the third Mason win the second. This is why Luka made the team. He could change the score in the blink of an eye. Ryan drive left fielder that's down for a base hit. That's going to score to Baker on his way to second. He's got a pinch hit to run double first and third one out tying run in Siani over a third Arnotto digs in that held high group. Base hit with time. Donovan second on his way to third. Trout throw goes the other way to tie it at six. Finally the intentional walk to Trout will bring up Paris. I mean Paris have another magic moment in him. Here's the next delivery. And there's a shot in the right field that's going to drop in for an RBI hit. Paris comes through again for the angels and the angels are back on top seven to six. Paris is running and he'll take second base. So a base hit would bring home to a hit right here by Moncada. It's been a while. He's huge. Brown ball fair down the third baseline Trout scores. Paris scores. Yohan Moncada has a two run double nine six angels. Kuda Makada the runner at second is Herrera Victor Scott the second line in the right field that is down for a base hit Herrera around third. He will score without a throw. Cardinals pick up a run nine seven. The Cardinals are down to their last out and it's Wilson Contreras who's looking for his first base hit of the year. Playing in a match strike three say goodnight to the Cardinals. It took a village tonight but the angels get their fourth straight win in eleven innings. It comes nine to seven.
