Locked On Angels - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Angels

A whacky Tuesday defined by a bizarre loss and more injuries

After the Angels seventh win in their first 10 games of the season, the club took sole possession of first place in the American League West for the first time since May of 2018. While this is certainly a very small sample of a larger season ahead, it speaks to the start the Angels have had this season. We dive into everything surrounding the Angels' win, Shohei Ohtani's 119 mph double, Mike Trout's fourth home run, Alex Cobb's second straight strong start, and the barrage of injuries hitting the Angels. -You can follow Brent on Twitter at @bmags94, the podcast at @LockedOnAngels, and Brent's written work at Crashing the Pearly Gates -All highlight audio courtesy of Major League Baseball and Bally Sports West Learn more about your ad choices.
