Angels lighting up an Angels Legend as they look for the sweep.

These prospects have fallen out of the Top 100 after this month's update: Tre’ Morgan, 1B, Rays Brayden Taylor, 2B, Rays Demetrio Crisantes, 2B, Diamondbacks Caden Dana, RHP, Angels Brandon Sproat, RHP, Mets buff.ly/50MScTP

The Red Sox play some terrible fundamental baseball. And I say that as someone who's been covering the Angels for five years.

That is an all-time pesky pole home run. Brutal for the Angels, who held the lead four separate times today. 308-foot walkoff homer.

Just a couple of Angels legends right here.

It was exactly 1 year ago that MLB suspended four players for betting on baseball. Andrew Saalfrank, Michael Kelly, Jay Groome and José Rodriguez. Today, the sport officially welcomes them back. Their teams appear willing to do the same. Read: nytimes.com/athletic/64035…

I caught up with Griffin Canning. He's been great with NYM — a 2.90 ERA in 12 starts. But was awful in Anaheim — an AL-worst 99 ER allowed in 2024. So what's the difference? He credits the Mets' culture, coaching, tech, and a change in scenery. Read: nytimes.com/athletic/64065…

Oh no. Jo Adell’s glove just went over the center field wall while trying to rob a homer. He got it back.

5 whiffs on 7 swings vs. Reid Detmers’ fastball. Fastball averaged 96 mph and 19 inches of IVB.

FINAL: The Angels beat the Mariners, 5-4. Kyle Hendricks picks up his 100th career win. Travis d’Arnaud hit a two-run homer. Nolan Schanuel had the tie breaking hit. Kenley Jansen with save No. 460. The Angels are 29-33.

Robert Stephenson underwent two MRI exams that revealed no structural damage to his right biceps but he’s dealing with a stretched nerve. Called it a freak injury and isn’t sure how long he’ll be out. The only treatment is rest, he said.

Here’s the thing about the Braves DFA’ing Kimbrel. Dude clearly doesn’t have it any more, but signing him, having him rehab for months and then cutting him after one MLB outing like he’s some random interchangeable up-down guy and not a franchise icon is so… weird.

FINAL: The Angels beat the Mariners, 8-6, and win the series. LAA scored in 6 consecutive innings for the first time since 2011. The bullpen continued to be excellent. And Jo Adell did the heavy lifting offensively — 3-for-3 with 2 HR, a single and walk. The Angels are 30-33.

Jo Adell on his offense: "The big thing that stands out is hitting fastballs in the zone, especially early in the count. Haven't let a lot of those go by. Before 3 weeks ago, I was letting a lot of pitches over the plate (go)." He's in a 13-for-34 (.382) stretch.

Ron Washington said there haven’t been any conversations about taking him out of the rotation. So as of now, the plan is for him to make his next start.

FINAL: The Angels lose 3-2 to the Mariners, and cannot complete the sweep. The Angels struck out a ghastly 18 times today. Bullpen continues to be very good, though. LAA is 30-34.

The #Angels have acquired OF LaMonte Wade Jr. and cash considerations from the San Francisco Giants in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations In a corresponding move, RHP Michael Darrell-Hicks has been designated for assignment.

Holy fuck Denzel Clarke.

nolan 😭😭😭💀💀💀

I spoke w/ Michael Kelly, one of the players MLB suspended for gambling. We talked about his year away, his return to the A's this week, & how he feels about such a severe punishment for betting $99.22. "I understand why they did what they did." Read: nytimes.com/athletic/64152…
