Final Thoughts
Well, it didn’t take long for the team’s offense to come crashing down to earth.
The team has scored just one run in the first two games of the series against the Angels.
Only two of Jake Thompson’s runs were earned tonight, but it wasn’t good to see him struggle to keep the ball in the park, allowing three long balls on the night. He’s got an opportunity to carve out a spot in the rotation for himself next year now that Jeremy Hellickson is gone, and the team would love to see him run with the opportunity.
