Angels vs. Rays Highlights (4/10/25) | MLB Highlights

He has had one tremendous start and then one so so start seven innings in that start against the Rangers giving up five runs but as the opener against Colorado six innings of one run baseball we saw six opposite field home runs last night by right handed hitters as Taylor Ward sends one out to right field pretty deep Mangum's back and that ball's gone picking up where he left off last night. Taylor Ward drives one out to right a lead off opposite field home run his reaction on his face to was perfect on that to stay in and let that baseball get a little deeper to try to drive the ball that way. And another home run to right field for Taylor Ward Luis Ranjito pops the next pitch up to shortstop Jose Caballero gives way to second baseman Brandon Lowe to the right of the bag and there's out number one to all lifted into center Meisner to his left makes the catch. So two hours following that lead off home run and cut the Miss Solaire out on strikes a run on the home run. Jose Soriano has looked pretty sharp so far nine strikeouts a career high in his last start. See if you can get that ground ball going today. Here's a chopper right at Tim Anderson. There you go. So him throws out Diaz easy out one gone. Brandon Lowe sends one the other way to left center field Taylor Ward backing up near the warning track makes the catch pretty good swing by Lowe on that one stayed on that one. There's a lot of drive solidly struck base hit into left for Caminero and now the ball loose on the infield and Caminero will take advantage of that and move into second. That is some of the worst luck that you will see the throw coming into second base. No one takes the throw and the ball hits second base to ground ball to second base. Paris handles that and the error doesn't matter as the angels get out of the inning. They leave a runner on one in the books. It's one nothing angels Logan O'Hopi leads things off in the second as the angels have hit a lot of home runs in the early part of the year already won today. Balls hit hard and it's fair down the left field line by O'Hopi. It's another extra base hit for the angels catcher potentially as the throw comes in from left field not in time a double for O'Hopi to start the second Shana well we'll try to at least move the runner over if not knock him in this one loop toward the left side. Morrell is chasing after it it's dropping and it's a fair ball. It bounces out of play it will score a run. O'Hopi comes in back to back doubles to nothing angels contact made RBI double extra base hit second double the season. Tell you what I don't know if I would want to play golf with him he's got that great little love wedge working the other way especially with two strikes. There's a swing and a miss and Littell gets a splitter down on one and two strikes out Paris second strikeout for Littell. Most of Paris's damage in this series has been early in the count either first pitch breaking ball or fastballs early and their steady diet of off speed and Paris was off stride swinging the ground ball toward short routine for Caballero a quick flip the second to get the sliding Tim Anderson to retire the side. So he just gives up the one Christopher Morrell Cameron Meisner Jose Caballero against the very hard throwing Jose Soriano swing and a miss. And there it is that darting slider to strikeout Morrell. It's already a seven strikeout on his slider. He didn't throw a high percent of the slider. The right handed batter is more effective against the curveball. I'll tell you this slider is a wipeout slider. Here's the two strike delivery and that is a called third strike. A little bit of a delayed call there by Maliki Moore. But that looked like a pretty pretty good pitch and that was the knuckle curve. It just froze Caballero to balls two strikes on Jake Mangum as he lifts one pretty deep to left. Taylor Ward is in position shy of the track to win the inning. Three hits for the Angels all extra base hits as Luis Ranjito steps in cut miss three pitches one out on the strikeout third strikeout for Littell. Oh that is strike three call on that inside and he got to Caballero swinging in the first looking in the third one out here in the fourth inning as Nolan Shanawell is the batter. Oh there's a fly ball into right and anything in the air and a nice catch out there by Mangum stayed right with it. Anything out there here this series you hold your breath and really took that ball. That was a home run. That ball would have sailed over the top of that wall. Rays down to nothing in Tampa to the Angels in the rubber game of three. The pitch swing of a line drive and a left sinking quickly over Warren. He can't get it rises over his head and off the wall. And Caballero races into second with a double and the Rays have a second hit from Junior. And that was absolutely scalded. Now Jonathan Aranda with an RBI chance ground ball that's going to go through in the center field. Caminero is going to score. And Jonathan Aranda gets the job done. Rays on the board that makes it two to one. And that's it. Strike three called second time he's got him with a slider got him to chase the slider to first at bat. This one locks him up in the inside part of the plate. There is a ground ball to second Paris flips to one and over to first Anderson's throw in time a double play break it bad. Get out of that batter's box four six three batter. Now is Joe Adele. He's looking to get on track offensively. Joe Adele hammers one left center field Meisner's going back for it. He's out near the wall and he leaps and it's gone. Joe Adele has cranked his first home run of the year and the Angels tacked on to the lead. It's three to one. That's a big part of the yard here. That is legit ball about one hundred eight off the bat for Joe Adele. Adele says hello. That's a fair ball and a tough play across the line. Not in time an infield hit for Tim Anderson. Now chance for more with Anderson already on base Taylor Ward with a home run in the first inning. There's another rocket out toward left center Meisner chasing this one off the bat of Taylor Ward and that goes home run for Ward. It's his second of the day. It's his third to the last two games and the Angels are rocking here in the fifth. I think the Angels are going to campaign to stay in this ballpark next year. Taylor. Wow. Ward that was one hundred and seven. I went for thirteen. Renito smacks one through a base hit and boy every Angel batter so far in this inning has had a hit. A couple of homers couple of singles Mike Trout waiting for his chance to the right field corner. This one is deep Mangum's at the wall and it's gone. Just inside the short porch and right Mike Trout has an opposite field. Homer the Angels have a three in the inning and it's seven to one George Steinbrenner field home run there. You don't see Trouty hit many home runs right down the right field line but he does on that one. No balls and one strike next delivery. It's a ground ball base hit through into left center field. So Hoppe has a two hit day and the hits keep on coming for the Angels here in this ballgame. Harris gets tied up there. No balls and two strikes. What is he saying. The ball hit the catcher catcher is going to say I thought he hit him. He stands so deep in the box as we talked about earlier. I guess it was bound to happen that there might be a catcher's interference with Paris at the plate. Paris reaching base on catcher's interference. And here is Joe Adele who led this inning off with a home run. Joe Adele another rocket left field and that ball is going to sail. Chris Morrell watches it fly. It's the second home run of the inning for Joe Adele. The Angels have put up ten runs with five home runs in this game. Now we talk a lot about things you haven't seen in a long time. Homer twice in the same inning for your first two home runs of the year. You're always a double play away here from Soriano on there to get those two outs swing and a miss. And there was that breaking ball again this time more depth to it to get a strikeout. And he goes after the pitch bounces one on the right side second base for one relay to first. That's another double play. And that is how the inning will end. So the Angels have turned inning ending double plays three innings in a row now against the Rays. Mike Trout will lead off in the ninth inning. He has hit a home run today. The Angels have a chance for a rare hat trick of multi home run games. And there's Trout driving one to right center field. It's a multi home run game. Mike Trout he is the third Angel to hit two home runs today. You put it out there way and Trout delivers. That was an absolute rocket. Now that's not that three twenty on that one going distance. That's way out. That was a short swing. That's the swing that Trout getting locked in the Rays are down to their final out in this ballgame. L strikes out say good night to the Rays. The Angels pound their way through today six home runs three multi Homer games and a clean eleven to one win.
