Kole Calhoun’s home run to straightaway center field that began third inning for the Angels on Sunday ended two streaks with one swing.
Calhoun had batted 71 times since April 12 without an extra-base hit, by far the longest such stretch of his career. And Texas Rangers left-hander Martin Perez…
Carlos Gomez whipped his hands through the strike zone, propelled a baseball through the night, flipped his bat and held up two fingers to his teammates, in the less aggressive of two dramatic gestures made toward the Texas Rangers’ dugout Saturday night at Globe Life Park.
The Texas center fielder…
The Angels are winning, but they continue to lose players to injury, rendering extended success ever more difficult to obtain.
On Saturday, the Angels placed left-hander Tyler Skaggs and first baseman C.J. Cron on the 10-day disabled list. Both players were hurt in the club’s victory over Texas…
Un vistazo a cómo le fue a Brandon Ingram en la temporada 2016-17.
By the time he approached the plate with two men on in a tied eighth inning Friday night at Globe Life Park, Albert Pujols had seen several breaking balls and made solid contact with none of them, striking out twice and weakly popping out once.
So, when Jeremy Jeffress flipped in a first-pitch…
As his allotment of pitches approached expiration in a one-run game Thursday night in Anaheim, Angels starter Ricky Nolasco found himself in trouble. So he let his instincts take over his pitching.

Taking a look at how Luol Deng performed throughout the 2016-17 season.
It was more than six months ago when right-hander Matt Shoemaker had no chance to get out of the way of a line drive. A drive that hit him in the head, required brain surgery and the beginning of a difficult comeback.
His return this season had been of the uneven variety, but Wednesday night he…

The Angels figured they had this bullpen thing under control going into spring, boasting three relievers who had experience closing — Huston Street, Cam Bedrosian and Andrew…
Un vistazo a cómo le fue a Ivica Zubac en la temporada 2016-17.
The Angels and the Oakland Athletics combined to throw 238 pitches through nine innings Tuesday night at Angel Stadium. At no point in all that time, over 60 plate appearances, did either team manage to send one runner as far from home as second base.
They carried a scoreless tie into extra innings….
