Angels vs. Rays Game Highlights (5-31-26) - MLB Highlights

Happy Sunday friends some breakfast and baseball from Tropicana Field coming your way the series finale this afternoon here from Florida the Angels and the Tampa Bay Rays after a wild game to Saturday evening the left hander Shane McClanahan making his 11th start of the season you take a look at the season numbers and then pretty good all around the whip right there not a lot of base runner that's going to lead to that lower batting or lower E.R. Ray on top of the fact that Shane has only given up two home runs in his 50 innings of work and he is perfect here at home a four no record with a two point one zero and five starts at Tropicana Field and look at that Zagato back in there at the top of the order after he had a scary moment the seventh inning yesterday. Tapper down the third. And there are even one that's out number one and he's out on strikes on the chain that change up the arm speed. That's what's so impressive with Shane McClanahan. You know he's got the split grip but he uses it as basically a circle change and he's out on the change up. Ronda what a streak he has been on the beginning of the game at two ninety one eight game hitting streak. That's a shot well tag deep right in that baby's out of here. A laser shot out to right. Talk about a ball getting out of here in a hurry. Well Kulhane Ritz can have command issues which leads to a lot of walks. It can also lead to pitches in the wrong location. It runs bad at it. Up the middle and trying to reach down and backhand that ball like that almost like it was going to be a routine groundball. He got lazy. He got lazy and nonchalant on that ground ball kind of Cadillac that a little bit. There could be a lot of ground balls from this right hander. His ground ball rates over 57 percent. Yeah there's a little roller back to go hard. It's plenty of time underhand toss. Despite the Caminero single no trouble but a run to hits the homer too quick outs was a series getting the start for the angels in left field will be the next batter this top of the second. As Siri Flores went into right field drops it in there for a base hit and pops one in the air in the shallow right. That's going to drop in the batter. Now is O'Hoppy 0 for three in the series. He did not play in yesterday's game. So hoppy it's a ball down the left field line and that one's going to bang off the wall. Siri is going to hold it. Third O'Hoppy will get to second with a double and a sharply hit double by Logan O'Hoppy with two outs. Now the angels have a threat. It's been a while for O'Hoppy to get a hold of a baseball. This didn't quite get the height on that. But it's the 21 degree launch angle hundred five off the bat any kind of height at all. That's gone. Two men in scoring position Madrigal. The third baseman is up there now. That one gets away breaking for home is Siri he will score. And on a wild pitch the angels tie up the ball game second wild pitch of the season. He has a two hitter Spanner like two quick outs a strikeout big change up. Boy looks really good out there locked in and then very quickly comes apart. Relying to left field for a base in towards the gap to cut it off Siri Paduccio holds at second base. And that's just what you look for with Taylor Walls. This one all the way to the back that ball into the opposite batter's box. And so the Rays have been in second and third and it could be a better example of what we're just talking about to one. It's a ground ball hit over to Neto takes his time with it tossed to first. Grissom goes up and just like that the Rays Scranton to its scoring position it's one one. Now the three one Palacios takes high ball for back to back walks to start it for the Rays. Ronda will go to second. Palacios will take over first and junior Camadero is coming to the plate and that's what we were talking about earlier. Young man with a very impressive arm but not to the lack of control lack of command he'll work himself into difficult situations. It's maddening and all self-inflicted. You cannot defend the walk and yet now you've got runners at first and second race having had to swing the bat yet. Tapper third base side charge. Madrigal. Look how deep Madrigal is. He's got a long way to go for that swinging but and so look how far he has to come. That gives Junior Camadero a full head of steam up that line. He's able to build into the top end speed and just get there in time. Now Victor Mesa Junior who's the only strikeout so far from Kahuna with. There's a line in the center that's going to drop for a big set. Around the score. The bases are still loaded. Palacio stopped the third on the RBI single by Mesa Junior and the Rays take a two to one lead. You know it call how to which wants Victor Mesa Junior to try to pull this pitch. He gets him reaching for it and Victor does a great job of extending his swing three and one to Mullins. He takes high ball four and the Rays get another run a base is loaded walk to Cedric Mullins and it's getting close to decision time for the Angels. Here comes Kurt Suzuki. In fact they do. They'll bring in the lefty Paris right here and right now. And now it'll be up to Taylor Walls who as we've noted a lot this year has been incredibly good with a base is loaded. Goes after this one looks at the left field Siri tracking it back towards the wall by the pole and Siri got it. He went up and got it. Lance Lambeau he leads an entertainer. That's for sure. Trent what a play that was to the wall. Siri makes the catch. He reaches over the wall down in that corner and he makes the grab on that one and that is going to end the inning. He just saved a grand slam right there. Did Siri he's tipping his cap for Shane McClanahan. He talked to us before today's outing saying he was really excited about the way he was pitching and executing playing here at Tropicana Field. Well he says he loves it. Calls it a resort reset of sorts. He's comfortable on the mound and he believes that familiarity has allowed him to be his best. Ball. Oh cut off there to his left. He's going to go deep into the hole and short. That would have been problematic. And Caminero comes up with a dandy play right here scrambling to get to that baseball. Then you've got to get to your feet and get the throw over there. What a great job of extension. So since O'Hoppy's double McClanahan has been able to retire nine in the last ten angels and a one two three for Shane. You look at last night's game for the Rays. They left eleven guys on base. They were one for twelve with runners in scoring position at this point. Right now they've left eight on base. They're two for eight with runners in scoring position. Ferris has done a good job in this game. He's walks and batters but has not allowed a hit. Got Connell it's out of some trouble and then gets a big strike out of Palacios and with two away Logan O'Hoppy will be the next batter. Logan O'Hoppy hits a ball deep left field if it's fair it's gone and it is. That's Logan O'Hammard his first home run since April the 15th in New York. Logan O'Hoppy closes the gap angels now down only a run. He was almost doing the Carlton Fiske in reverse just scrapes the pole yesterday. Indeed. And it's not just the fact that they've issued walks. It's been when they've given up walks. It seems like they're all coming either with two outs or the lead off an inning to one run game and a chop to short Neto's going to step on the bag at a high ball. So he gets one but he sits safe at both bases though. Oh there he's gone to safe. So Caminero got there in time. They may review this and the Reyes are going to have runners at first and second. Well they're saying right there that he never touched second and that the throw was high and Chandler was able to get underneath that. But think about that. All of that was caused by who hit the ball. Yeah he's so rushing to turn a double play but realizes that Chandler is flying up the line that he doesn't even get to the bag and then throws it high. After a few to call it second base fans the runner is safe. Call it confirmed. The runner is also safe. Los Angeles will get down. So the Reyes are going to come out of this as you could hear their runners at first and second with nobody out. He does but with two strikes and that's a strikeout. So that's it for Mesa couldn't get it down. Mitch Ferris who's pitched admirably here in this game to keep the Halos in it for the Angels in a jam with two on and one out the bottom of the seven thirty seven year old left. He drew Pomerance and there's strike three swing and a miss. Cedric Mullins goes down this chance for the Reyes. The Angels have been giving the Reyes gifts errors unforced errors. The Reyes just have not taken advantage of it up the middle and a base hit in the center. Here comes Kevin Williamson comes through coming off that bench in the Reyes pick up another run to make it forty two. Another guy that fits what the Reyes are trying to do offensively perfectly. He can hit and run with him. He'll use all fields. He goes up the middle the other way as well as anybody. And here's Taylor Walsh that is all for the catcher's challenge and they're going to get a challenge. Once again the Reyes at the base is loaded and here is Yandy Diaz and ball for the Reyes are going to get another run. And the two runs that have scored in this inning were the two that were involved in that which should have been double play ball. One more out to get here is Donovan Walton Tapper left side charge by Kevin Darrow. They're thirty six the win of the year.
