Ronald Acuña Jr., Matt Olson and Austin Riley have combined for a .232/.334/.364 line (.698 OPS) in 395 plate appearances.

The Braves still have baseball's best record at 20-9.

That 2015 Mets performance came against the Nationals, who saw Max Scherzer throw his second no-hitter of the season and would've had a perfecto if not for a Yunel Escobar error.

Entering today, teams that struck out 18+ batters and allowed two or fewer runs in a nine-inning game were 53-1 (since 1901).

The Angels have made that record 53-2 with an 18-strikeout, two-run performance in a losing effort today and join the 2015 Mets.

Patrick Sandoval has struck out 10 batters in a game for the fourth time in his career.

It's his first time since July 9, 2022 against the Orioles.

Strong performance against one of the best lineups in baseball.

The Dodgers have a Minor League team called the Quakes, but they got bees.

Kevin Pillar, Cole Tucker, Ehire Adrianza, and Willie Calhoun being on the Angels MLB roster on May 1st seems suboptimal

The Angels are off to an 11-19 start, tied for the second-worst 30-game start in franchise history behind the 2020 season (9-21).

In that span, they've been outscored by 37 runs, the fifth-worst mark through 30 games and tied for the fourth-worst in the Majors this season.

Mason Miller has struck out 28 of the 51 batters he's faced (54.9 percent). Only 11 of those hitters have reached base safely (two runs allowed).

He's unreal.

Carlos Estévez allowed game-tying and go-ahead home runs to a pair of players (Castellanos and Rojas) who entered the game with one combined home run in 207 plate appearances.
