Angels News
The Angels' pitching woes appear to be a thing of the past after recent coaching changes have breathed new life into their rotation, contributing to a stingy 2.6 runs allowed per game over the last week. Yet, after dropping a 4-2 decision to the Guardians, the question remains whether the offense can find its mojo, with Mike Trout and Zach Neto struggling to break out of their respective slumps. Meanwhile, Vaughn Grissom is showing signs of life, notching his first career two-homer game, a bright spot in a disappointing season. The Angels are faced with the fallout from trading away seven players at the deadline, with former Angel Jo Adell thriving in Cleveland, reminding fans of what could have been. As the Angels gear up for another matchup against the Guardians, fans are left to ponder if these recent changes will translate into meaningful results.
