had that four game series against the A’s up in Sacramento and Buuchi was the the one guy in the rotation that did not face him This is only his first start against the A’s since the 2023 season That’s when he was with the Toronto Blue Jays Overall in his career start number 12 against them Here’s the pitch and that’s fouled off over by the on deck circle Two and three record 3.45 RA in those 11 starts and he had a really good start back in 2023 against then the Oakland A’s They went seven innings allowed just one run Here’s the two strike pitch That’s outside There’s a fast ball at 96 There’s only two guys in this A’s lineup that have ever faced you Kikuchi Aras and Rooker And there’s a pitch a little bit low Two and two is the count Top of the third Scoreless spa game at the moment Presented by Modello Brewed with the finest ingredients for a taste that’s pure gold Little pocket of sunshine out there at the mound right now And here’s the next pitch And that is a swing and a miss Got him on a slider Struck him out Strike out number two for Kikuchi And here is Denzel Clark who had that catch that robbed Nolan Shotwell in the bottom of the first Darnell’s talking to him when he got in there and he’s got a big smile on his face I don’t know what Darnell Arnell said to him but there’s a swing and a miss Clark began the year in TripleA was hitting .286 Doesn’t have much power He’s had one big league homer since he’s been with the A’s He’s hitting 224 with them And the next pitch that’s low and inside Can really run at a lot of stolen bases last year in double A 36 Well in between innings I showed you his play that he had against Baltimore and it is spectacular Y here’s the next pitch That’s a wave and a miss at that one That was a good curveball And that was a game in Sacramento West Sacramento Yep And he was playing in right center field and full dead sprint to left center field Ends up catching it Soon as the ball enters his glove he hits the wall full speed and holds on to it Yeah Crashed into the wall And how he was able to hold on to it hitting the wall that hard No kidding I agree Amazing Kikuchi asking for a new baseball He’s a big guy too 64

miss Change up to Dell Bill Dell’s hitting 273 here in early June His overall average is 220 And here’s the next pitch Takes that one a little bit inside Two and one Joe Adell probably the hottest Angel the last 12 games 351 Five home runs and nine RBI’s for Joe Adell Here’s the next pitch And he swings at that one Fouls it off on the right side That’s going to get back and out of play Two balls and two strikes on Adele There’s the next pitch And did he go after that one Yes he did Tried to hold up on it struck him out So things about as quiet as uh they can be right now Other than that home run saving catch by Denzel Clark We have not had anyone get on base yet in this ball game on either side And we saw the game yesterday George Kirby perfect for the first 11 guys he faced and then crowdface hit Ward a two-run blast and that was it for the Angels till the ninth inning They had a walk from Solair but here’s the pitch on its way And that one misses low He’s got Kry the batter One ball one strike to count on him And here’s the next pitch He bunts that one It’s out near the mound off the mound Springs fires and gets by the first baseman Soderstrom Hingry is easily going to get to second base The throw is a bad throw But backing up over on the left side is the left fielder Rooker Otherwise Hingry might have a chance to get all the way to third base So he’s at second one out in the inning And Kevin Newman the nine-hole hitter will be the next batter Yeah this should be a bunt hit right here because Springs got to rush his throw and throws it away at first King easily gets to second and Butler gets his ball thinking there’s somebody that there’s a play at second base and just fires it right to the second base bag There was nobody there and fortunately again that’s there’s always some place for you to be Brent Rooker was backing that play up It’ll be scored a hit and an error throwing error on Springs after he fielded that bunt that enabled the batter Kry to get to second base First pitch ball here on Kevin Newman He’s the nine-hole hitter 186 batting average two for his last 12 Takes that one inside Two balls and no strikes Earlier today the Angels made some roster moves selected the contract of reliever Shawn Anderson as he’s back with the Angels getting promoted from Triple A Salt Lake Angels also option Jos Fine to AAA Salt Lake as Newman chases and misses that change up It’s now two and one and the Angels designated for assignment left-hander Garrett McDaniels who they had picked up as a rule five drafty after last season from the Dodgers So we’ll see where he ends up There’s a pitch on the outside part of the plate And the Angels also uh acquired a player from the San Francisco Giants as well Yeah Wade Lamont Jr and he is not here yet But as far as Jose Fine well you can’t pitch any better than he pitched yesterday There’s a ground ball hit on the left side Skips off the glove of Muny No throw Everybody’s going to be safe Although Kry was unable to advance on that one since it was hit on the left side So it’ll be a single but it does not advance the runner So first and second or no it’s going to be a error They’re going to charge an error on Muny as it turns out and that’s going to be their second error in the inning Yeah fairly routine play and it just the transfer from the glove to the hand He dropped it and by the time he picks it up you’re not going to throw out Newman So Angels can they take advantage of the mistakes that the A’s have made so far Two on with one out Neto at the plate and he drills one through the left side of the infield It’s going to roll on out to the left fielder who fumbles it Rooker and easily coming in and scoring from second base will be Kingrey and the Angels have the early one- nothing lead Just like that Zack Nettle says “Yes we will capitalize on the mistakes you’ve made.” Hits this ball hard out to Rooker and King’s going to score Well Porter started had started the windmill going and King was not going to stop And this ball is bobbled by Rooker out in left field But certainly for King he was going to score easily And Zack Netto brings in the first run of the game And the first run of the game is presented by Del Taco So here’s Showell at the plate One out runners at first and second One- nothing Angels And there’s a chase and a miss at a slider Newman is the lead runner at second And here’s the next pitch That’s a little flare into right center That’s going to drop in for a base hit Newman’s going to be waved around Ball is fumbled a little bit out there in right center Angels will have runners at the corners A run in Two nothing Halos All right Nolan Shadow can show you how good he really truly is This is a good pitch This is a slider down and away And he’s just able to somehow get a piece of the bat on the baseball and deliver it out to right center field And Zack Deno easily going first to third on that play And once again Shadow just puts the ball in play it Soft little flare out there into center field Scott Emerson their pitching coach out there to have a word with Jeffrey Springs That meeting wraps up Yeah Angels have completely taken advantage of the miscues by the A’s here So Trout who flyed out to right his first time up steps up here A chance to do some damage and the pitch on its way That’s a little bit low Here’s the pitch trout Grounds one through the left side That’s going to be another RBI hit Pedto scores from third Angels have had three straight RBI hits here in this inning and have a three nothing lead Yeah Trout this is a fast ball 90 mph It catches a lot of the plate hits it hard through the hole in the left side And again the Angels are so used to their runs coming via the home run ball Not here Angels have been able to play some small ball just some singles good base running and taking advantage of some mistakes the A’s have made Taylor Ward is the batter Looks over the first pitch That one misses outside Ward is third in the AL with 18 home runs That’s tops on the Angels Leads the Angels in runs batted in He’s tied for fourth in the AL with 45 driven in And here’s the next pitch Takes that one for a called strike One and one is the count This copyrighted broadcast presented by Authority of Angels Baseball may not be reproduced or retransmitted in any form The accounts and descriptions of this game may not be disseminated without the express written consent of Angels Baseball Here’s the next one on Ward And that’s a swing and a miss Chase the slider Taylor Ward two for 11 in that series against Seattle Had the one of the two hits in the game yesterday against George Kirby who was just brilliant There’s a pitch there that Warden’s checking on They say he was holding It’s a 2-2 count Kirby careerhigh 14 strikeouts in that game yesterday And you that’s what the Mariners calling card has always been their starting pitching and George Kirby And again the Angels got Luis Castile the night before So there’s Ward swinging at the next one and popping it into shallow left center Coming in making the grab on that one will be Rooker Rooker who’s playing left field for them He’s done a lot of dhing this year but he’s playing in the field tonight Second out in the inning now Travis Darno lined out and his first time up will be the next batter ace batter in the inning Seattle trailing in Arizona tonight one- nothing That’s in the bottom of the third from Chase Field in Phoenix Oh and one is the count on Darno Here’s the pitch And there goes the runner at second Shadow He’s going to steal third base without a throw That’s his second of the season And that stolen base is presented by Don Fulio Tequila And that is a no contest Shaw is such a good base runner where they just don’t pay attention to him They look at him they see him run they go “Ah not going to pay attention.” And that right there Springs never even looked at him Shaunell had movement toward the bag Took off steals the bag standing up Two strike pitch And boy that was way outside and chasing that change up and missing it is Darno That’s how the inning will end But the Angels put a three spot on the board in the third And we go to the fourth Moments in baseball have been broadcast on the radio since 1921 Smith courts one in right down the line It may go Go crazy folks Go crazy It’s a

count on Curts Hey look at tonight Kikuchi 45% fast ball Sliders at 38 curveball tonight at 16% Here’s the next pitch that’s fouled back behind the plate His curveball usage in the season is just 10% So he’s a lot more curveball usage tonight So 0 and2 on Curts and Kikuchi steps off the rubber Kikuchi’s in the first year of a three-year 63.7 million deal with the Angels He’s making 21 million this season And he comes in with the next pitch that’s low and outside bring that up because his deal is the largest deal that Perry Manazian has made since becoming the Angels general manager He’s in his fifth year now as GM That’s the biggest contract moneywise in Perry Manassian’s time as Angel GM There’s a pitch taken a one two fast ball there and Curts is out looking Struck him out Yeah he’s sitting breaking ball and gets the fast ball right at the knees He just knows it Soon as this ball gets close to home play he just turns around walks back to the dugout knowing I’m sitting off speed I get the fast ball Completely fools him Here comes the pitch and that’s in there for a called strike Lisa Reus is the batter with two outs when the Angels bat in the bottom of the fifth up 4 nothing Top of the batting order Neto Shadowwell and Trout against Springs There goes the runner at first Pitch is taken Throw down to second and safe is the call Muny has his first stolen base Angels are taking a quick peek at this Didn’t look like they got him live but you always got to check to make sure Yeah they will not challenge this Yeah especially in today’s game you you have to take a quick peek just to make sure the body parts all are still attached to the base Here’s the next one on a stolen base We got a good view on our monitor He clearly beat the tag but his momentum was taking him off the bag and he had the fingertips that were just barely touching the bag Yep Yeah Things that you see with your eyes you think “All right he got that beat.” But you see it in super slow mode Certainly we’ve seen it a lot with guys just ever so slightly disengage with the base and they all the infillers are taught just keep that tag on them the entire time Counts three and one now on Aras

of those starts And we’ll see what happens tonight Hopefully it’ll be protected for him again But there has been a little history of that when he’s been on the mound this season Yeah when you look at the record one and five and you look at his ERA coming into this game 3.23 It’s nothing but gone down here tonight There’s something in between Next pitch grounded on the third base site A fair ball

Jeffrey Springs were six innings for them He followed the opener He gave up five hits four runs three earned Did not walk and he struck out eight There goes Neto Pitches a strike throw his second Not in time Meadow has a stolen base and that is his 11th of the year Hayes immediately checking making sure that everything was attached and it was They will not challenge That’s good to see the Angels Angels were aggressive in that series against Seattle Now a base hit could mean a run Here’s the pitch There is the base hit It throws into left field though So Neto is only going to be able to get to third on that one Is quickly getting the ball in is Rooker the left fielder But that’s another hit for Shadow He has two He was also robbed in the first inning of a home run Could had a three hit night And here’s Mike Trout Fans book your escape to Fantasy Springs Resort Casino See Dustin Lynch Public Enemy Cool in the Gang Daryl Hall and more Visit fantasypespr resort.com for tickets and

out Usay Kikuchi Just the pitch count got to him Jeffrey Springs on the other side was doing a fantastic job Really kept the Angels offense in check Jansen’s up in the Angel bullpen He’s ready to come into the spa game when we get to inning number nine Here’s the pitch That’s low and inside Yeah a infield is in but not all the way in They middle infielders are basically in the base pass of between first and second and second and third Next pitch Grout takes that one low Fans making some noise Off toss over to first Diving back to the bag of Shot Well he’s stolen a base tonight Yeah the Angels came into this game 29th in the majors as far as stolen bases Here’s the pitch and that’s a chase and a miss Trout went after that pitch That was a fast ball at 94 This bottom of the eighth inning it’s being presented by Farmers and Merchants Bank And don’t forget after the game it’ll be Angel’s recap with Trent Brush your phone calls some of your posts on X some of the playby-play highlights of the ball game Look at the out of town scoreboard and the pitch on a trout This ball’s hit well out into left center field but not far enough to get out but tagging and coming in and easily scoring on the sack fly will be Neto And the Angels lead rose to five to2 Yeah nice job by Mike Trout just all over this slider Hits it hard and it’s JJ Bled out there in center field now and he reels this one in about a two steps from the wall in left center Angels that extra run big remains at first base on the drought sack fly that brought in Neto And here’s Taylor Ward taking ball one It’s one ball no strikes Angels up 52 here in the bottom of the eighth inning This score update is presented by OCNavigator Visit ocnavavigator.org for mental health resources Next pitch Ward taking low Taylor Ward entered the ball game tonight hitting just 143 here in early June His average for the month He’s 0 for three tonight and just three for his last 23 And he lifts a shallow fly ball to right field

forget the day game Wednesday wraps up the home stand That’ll be a 107 afternoon start here at Angel Stadium Angels will be off on Thursday and then play in Baltimore over the weekend and after that travel to the Bronx to take on the Yankees next week The pitch that’s low and that’ll be four games against the Yankees It will And then the Angels head home for pretty long home stand Three against the Astros three against the Red Sox and three against the Washington Nationals There’s a pitch that’s low And the Angels are trying to hold on to this lead right now leading 5-2 to even up their record here in the AL West We’re seven and eight in division There’s the pitch on its way That’s low and that’s going to be ball four That was a four pitch walk Vance Angel’s first walk is presented by Johnny Walker Keep walking Chris Taylor will be the next batter And the A’s pitching has been really good Again that’s just the first walk in the game And the A’s this year they have walked more batters than any other team in baseball Number one there Angels are number two unfortunately But tonight not very many walks in this game Just a total of three Yeah You say Kikuchi once again brilliant tonight You just wish you could have extended him and I guarantee it he would love to have tried to finish this There’s a big chase and a miss by Chris Taylor for strike one for Kikuchi It was the second time in his last four starts he did not allow a single run and ended up with 104 pitches There’s one that’s low Good stop on it by Austin wins the catcher Donovell the runner at second On at first Darno Two outs And here’s the next pitch That’s inside on Chris Taylor Two and one Fans are trying to get the wave going here at the Big A There’s a chase and a miss at that pitch That was a fast ball Two and two is the count Here’s the next delivery And that comes in and hits Taylor And that looked like it might have got him around the hand hit by the pitch And now the Angels will have them loaded left hand seems to be where Taylor was struck by that pitch A 94 mph fast ball and that hits exactly what you said right on the wrist of the left hand And Chris Taylor does have a pad It looks like on that left hand So he’s being attended to just outside the batter circle Hey look at the top of the ninth Kinley Jansen still warming up out in the Angels bullpen right now A three-run lead It would be a safe situation Taylor’s going to stay in the game Brett Rooker Soderstrom and Maxy are the scheduled hitters So here’s Joe Adell He’s had a home run in his three times up He bats with runners everywhere They could bust this game wide open here The pitch that’s inside One ball no strikes Next delivery And that one’s fouled back behind the plate But that put out the catcher’s mass Austin wins Yeah that not only did hit off his mask but a shot over the fencing behind home plate over the mat into the seats The one is the count on Adele Here’s the next pitch That’s a ground ball on the right side That’s a base hit One run will score Another is being waved home No throw to the plate Adele has a three RBI night and the Angels increase the lead It’s now 7-2 Great at bat for Joe Adell Again they’re playing him to pull and there’s a just enough space on that right side for this ball to get through And Lawrence Butler out there did not even attempt to throw out Darno Home played I was a little shocked by that one but the Angels will take it And Kenley Jansen immediately sits down Angels now up seven to2 Sean Sean Anderson has now gotten up in the Angels bullpen Here’s Scott King at the plate A pickoff toss over to first Adele gets back to the bag Angels have their biggest lead of the night And here’s the pitch Chase and a miss All in one to count Hickory had a one for three night Oh it it is fun to see Joe Adele putting together some great at bats Not only is the power there that was a really good at bat on a slider down and away and he just stays on it Hits it to right Sean Anderson who was just recalled today from Triple A Salt Lake continues to warm up in the bullpen Two strikes to count here on Kry Hitch 29 in the inning And boy that almost hit Kry It’s a one-two count And this will be Ferguson’s 30th pitch in the inning He’s set Here it comes And that is a called third strike And Kinker is out looking And that’s how the inning will end Angels send eight to the plate Three of them score And we’ll head to the ninth inning It’s 72 Angels on Angels Radio Also available on the Angels Radio app Hey Angels fans join the club at Pchanga Resort and

6.30 erra Brent Rooker will be the first batter he faces And here’s the pitch It’s lifted in the air Foul down the right side That’s going to push back to the seats out of play Yeah boy Those extra runs are really the breathing room that you need from just from the standpoint Kennley Jansen’s he’s pitched quite a bit here in recent games So nice to just kind of extend it have him sit down Next pitch foul back behind the plate 0 and2 is the count Kingsry the second baseman not far from the bag as the Angels line up the infield There’s a pitch They have misses One ball two strikes Kelly Jansen was in two of the three games against the Mariners And the next delivery that’s low and away Three of the six on that last road trip One thing you want to see Anderson do here in this ninth inning throw strikes Have a five run lead the next pitch And he misses high So that’s going to run the count full Here’s the delivery and that’s fouled straight back behind the plate Yeah John Anderson might have caught a break there That last one was a slider that it’s like it was off the inside corner Anderson 30 years old He’s a guy who’s moved around in his pro career Here’s the next pitch And this is popped on the right side Shotwell goes back Now he’s in foul territory Has a play Makes the catch Went back into right field That had to come into foul territory on that right side One gone here in the ninth That’s the play that Ron Washington’s just been raving about for Nolan Shadowwell Says he’s going back on the ball as good as anybody in the game and he’s worked so hard He says when he first got here he was horrible at that play and now says he’s turned into one of the best Strom the batter lefty hitter picks the first one for a ball He’s been quiet tonight 0 for three and he has kind of tailed off a little bit of late Just nine hits his last 51 times up Here’s the next pitch And he’s going to line one the opposite way That’s going to be a one out single It’s going to roll on out to Taylor Ward It’s amazing to me that they can hear us talking up here Well maybe the uh pitchcom device is connected to it Yeah exactly We’re on the same frequency Here’s Muny getting ready to dig in He’s gone one for three tonight And the pitch he lifts this one in the air It’s hit well out into right center field Taylor’s going back and that ball is gone That’s Muny with a two-run homer 387 the tail of the tape on that one And for Muny it’s his fourth home run of the year And that gets Kennley Jansen back up It is now a save situation 74 is the score Angels on top and Anderson has already faced three hitters And Kaylee Jansen’s he is loose He’s ready to go He was throwing until the Angels open up the game And that was with Joe Adell’s hit Now the slow walk by Travis Darno once again And you can expect Kenley Jansen to enter this game pretty quick here That’s the fourth home run that Sean Anderson has given up in 10 and 1/3 innings this year with the Angels So that is a very high total meeting between the U players wraps up No sign of Rod Washington headed out just yet This top of the ninth inning It’s being presented by Bullet Frontier Whiskey 74 Angels The A’s have gotten all four of their runs here over the last two innings of this game surprised that Ron Washington didn’t go out there Here’s the pitch on Curts and that’s taken for a called strike Well you figure if Curts gets on base that’ll be it for Anderson If Anderson gets him then Ron Washington might give him another hitter There’s one that’s low He would love to have him finish this inning but you’re right It’s batter for batter right now The 1-1 pitch and a big cut and a miss A change up One and two And the next delivery it’s hit on a hop right to second Easy play for Kingry He’ll throw him out And now Ron Washington is coming out of the Angel dugout after that round out Is the second out and we are going to have Jansen come in and try and get the final out to wrap this one up So Kenley Jansen will be the fifth pitcher of the night for the Angels Breaking the action Two are gone in the ninth Angels have a 74 lead on Angels Radio Also available on the Angels Radio app

strike in this ball game That P ball is the one that grabs my attention It was right on top of us but right above us Cannot see it Here’s the next pitch And this is bounced right the netto Should be no problem at all The throw to first is in time And the ball game is over So Jansen retires the only batter that he ends up facing in this ball game on a routine 6-3 ground out Angels come away with the victory 7 to four And you can put a halo over this one as the Angels improve now with that victory to 31 and 34 The A’s now with a record of 26 and 42 Mark the tone certainly set tonight by the Angels starter Usay Kikuchi That totally was the difference in this game The Angels needed a strong pitching performance They got it from Kikuchi Only his second win as an Angel and he should have a lot more We’ve talked a lot about it just from the standpoint the Angels offense has not been there or the bullpen may have had a hiccup But tonight everything in sync plenty of offense WAN able to take care of it there at the end to get the win and secure it for USA Kuchi All right let’s go down to Trent Rush She’s standing by with Angel center fielder Joe Adele All right thank you very much Sherry Joe for you swinging a hot bat right now Another home run on this game Drove in a couple of big insurance runs late Just describe how you’re feeling at the plate right now Really good You know I’m staying on the hard stuff and uh you know reacting to off speed pitches and just kind of being patient You know I’m trying to be patient pull out pitches that I know I could handle And uh good things are happen when you swing at the right pitch and you put it in play I know you had that one ball in center field I know you wanted to bring that one in but then to be able to come back and deliver for your team in a big spot with those insurance runs The fans really a warm reception for you too when you were able to execute in that moment What’s it like when you’re able to come through at the dish and kind of you know make up for for what would have been a tough play anyway but still come through offensively Yeah you know I tried to bring that one back You know it was a tough play out there I wish that I would have been able to you know keep the two runs off the board but that’s what we’re about you know picking each other up and you know I’m glad I was able to pick Brogden up in that situation and come through and uh that’s what it’s about Just putting runs up on the board finding a way and passing the baton Meanwhile it seemed like you say it was on cruise control so much tonight it was maybe kind of boring for you out in center field for a while The way he was dealing what it looked like from your perspective he was so good I mean he was corner to corner really good Every pitch he was throwing was with intent and you know he he was challenging these guys A lot of these innings that he threw were quick ones You know he kept us you know in the dugout swinging the bats and kept us in the game And so unbelievable job by him for just getting out there and getting after it Joe well done Congrats on the win Thanks Trent All right Derek Mark back to you guys All right Thanks Trent We will take a break When we get back we’ll have the winning totals in a wrap Angels come away with a 74 victory in the opener of this series And so far so good Three and one home

game That’s Mike Piaza after he hit an eighth inning go-ahad home run in the first New York Mets home game after 911 Your moments like this and more on the MLB app and MLB.com against the A’s tomorrow in game two of this threeame series Here are the winning totals The Angels had seven runs on eight hits No errors end up leaving four The A’s had four runs on five hits They commit two errors They leave three You say Kikuchi gets the win His record now two and five in the ball game A save for Henley Jansen And for Jansen that is save number 15 of the season The losing pitcher for the A’s tonight was Jeffrey Springs His record is now 5 and5 The time of the ball game it was a quick one tonight 2 hours 26 minutes And the attendance at Angel Stadium the crowd tonight here at the Big A 29,884 We mentioned the Angels with the victory have improved the season record to 31 and 34 And the A’s with the loss They are now 26 and 42 Mark Langston alongside And Mark you already talked a little bit about Usay Kikuchi Certainly he was the headliner in this Angel win tonight He went seven and 1/3 innings The Angels have not had a pitcher completed start this season And the longest starts the Angels have had this season have been seven and two/3 innings Kyle Hendricks has done that once Jos Soraniano who pitches tomorrow night has done that So Kikuchi now with the third longest start of the season for the Angels in picking up the win On the offensive side tonight for the Angels Joe Adell had a nice night and we heard from him when he was talking to Trent Rush Yeah it’s it’s nice to see the Angels score runs other than hitting the ball out of the ballpark Even though Joe Adele did hit the ball out of the ballpark there late in this game or actually I should say in the fourth inning but it was the small ball and it was the dynamic duel at the top of the order Zach Neto and Nolan Shaw each getting an RBI in this game tonight Each getting two hits in this game tonight So you like the way those guys have set the table Mike Trout with a pair of RBI’s in this game Nice to see that after a tough series against Seattle And certainly plenty of offense tonight for Usay Kikuchi who’s picks up his second win This is all about Usay Kikuchi in this game tonight Only allows one hit in this game You know that he wanted to finish this You know Ron Washington wanted to finish it but 104 pitches there in the eighth inning And Ron Washington says there’s just I can’t let him go there’s no reason for even to let him finish the inning because you know he’s not going to finish the game So you might as well just take him out right then and there And he did And uh for Kinley Jansen he was up You thought he was going to come in The Angels tacked on those extra runs there in the bottom of the eighth inning Then Kinley Jansen sat down Then Sean Anderson gives up a couple and that got Kennley Jansen back up What does he do Comes in three pitches later This game is over His 15th save in his back pocket A nice series opener here for the Angels uh winning this game tonight against Oakland Again Oakland beat Baltimore two out of three They’ve been playing a little bit better here in recent days So uh a nice way to start this series Angels are all about it’s winning series now You got to win series take care of it Game one in the books Angels on top And the Batman reference I enjoyed there as well The dynamic duo Yes I was thinking about that Who is Batman which one shot was obviously taller Robin was a little shorter but uh yeah I’m sure that was going to say I’m Batman Anyway you look at it those two guys a really big night You cannot talk about this game without talking about Denzel Clark though The catch that he made uh off of Nolan Shan Well Nolles missed a home run because of this catch by Denzel Clark and it might go down as one of it’s definitely the probably the best catch I’ve ever seen Uh and that was just unbelievable when he robbed Nolan Shanil of that home run So uh a really unbelievable defensive play but this was all set up by Use Kikuchi This is a just a fantastic start for him and a good uh really good way again start this series Yeah how Clark caught it and how he was able to prevent himself from flying over the wall in center field That that was just something uh it was just mindboggling to see that happen live in person Yeah you see a lot of guys will get most of their upper body over his whole weight from his waist up was over that fence and with that being said he extended to the backhand side to grab this baseball and as you mentioned was holding on for dear life to not flip over the fence He does and comes down with one of the better catches you will ever ever see Uh a really impressive night and you can tip your cap to him here but the Angels can tip their caps as far as they picked up the win All right so a good night for the Angels and the club remains unbeaten against the A’s this season Have knocked them off five straight times going into play tomorrow night The totals one more time The Angels had seven runs on eight hits no errors leave four The A’s had four runs on five hits two errors They end up leaving three You say Kikuchi gets his second win of the season a two and five record Henley Jansen gets his 15th save of the season He’s 15 for 15 in save opportunities

714283830 7142 83830 So much to get to in this game Usay Kikuchi was brilliant in the ball game tonight You know what’s funny about Usay’s night though I mean there was a chance that you know he’s got one win on the season coming into this game and all of a sudden after Brogden gave up the two-run shot to Beday and Seth Brown walks if it’s not for just an incredible stop by Scott Kingy at second base on the Lawrence Butler Fielder’s choice we might be having a very different conversation about Usay Kikuchi now pitching to a sub3RA but gets his second win of the season He went seven and a third It’s the third longest outing an Angels pitcher’s gone this year He gave up one hit One hit one walk no runs and ends up getting the victory his second but man oh man it was little probably a little too close for comfort for us but man the Angels picking him up and giving this Angels bullpen a little bit of support did so in a big way with uh the Joe Adele two-run hit in the eighth inning as the Angels end up creating some separation down the stretch tonight with those three runs in the eighth Again our number 714283830 Highlight of the game I don’t think there’s any doubt about it The play that was made out in center field by Denzel Clark I mean that was as spectacular of a catch as you’ll see Tory Hunter has weighed in on social media he has said So I bumped into Garrett Anderson in the press box He was making some of the same sentiments for what an amazing catch that was I had friends texting me from all over the country sending me stuff about different catches that what could compare to that Obviously you remember some of the catches Mike Troutz made He had the one in center field here He had another in Baltimore Mike Cameron’s had some unbelievable catches Obviously you talked about Tory but you know Kenny Loftton had a catch in Cleveland that was just out of this world good There have been some amazing catches Jimmy Edmonds obviously um if you’re going to stick with Angel Lore but I think that catch we saw tonight was about as good as any that we’ve ever seen If it’s not number one it’s in the top five to 10 of greatest catches ever that we saw at the ballpark tonight And that was one I I give credit to Angel fans for being the pure baseball fans that you are It was an amazing play It was for the opponent but tip of the cap to Angel fans who said “You know what I tip my cap to the center fielder Made a heck of a play.” And Angel fans applauding a a really great effort out there by Clark Ironically it was a really good swing from Nolan Showell and he hits it to left center field One of the better power swings we’ve seen from Nolan Showell And if you’re no one you got to be like man I can’t buy a homer right now And he thought he should have had one He absolutely should have had one Would have had one if not for one of the greatest home run robberies in the history of the game 714283830 Again my name is Trent Rush This is Angels Recap Let’s get the phone call started tonight Where else but with Robbie in East Long Beach Go ahead Robbie How’s it going Trent Kudos to you think of Gucci on earning his second quid Number one Number two I I take my 50/50 chance with Soriano on the mound I think he will probably bounce back I don’t know But here’s my concern about it About this guy like Mitch Ben who’s going tomorrow The numbers don’t add up This dude I think is better than Jeffrey Strange because I remember last year he was 2 and 0 against us in two starts with a 1.9 something erra and I thought he was pretty good against us in Sacramento in relief Granted we swept the series with the open a and maybe just maybe if we attack him early like say maybe the third inning or so I take my 5050 shot at beating him I’m calling all you angels Hey hey hey let’s go halos baby Oh halo hops for lunch Who may be guaranteed peace Robbie in East Long Beach One of a kind Always brings it Robbie also dropped a phrase I’ve never heard in my life Maybe guarantee That’s the first time in my life I’ve ever heard maybe guarantee But Robbie in East Long Beach was able to bring it for us uh with that phone call Started us off great talking about Usay Kikuchi and and you can’t say enough good things about the job Kikuchi did in this game That’s what makes him our star of the game which is presented by Jersey Mike Subs Kikuchi goes seven and a third just one hit walked a batter five punch outs no earned runs lower RA to 2.92 as the Angels opening day starter looked like it in the ball game tonight Uh so happy to see that Absolutely Um but man oh man I I think that the Big A is probably still buzzing a little bit after that catch that was made uh in center field by Denzel Clark If you missed it uh we’ll play it for you now because it it’s not going to qualify for our Halo highlights in this game because well Halo didn’t make the play That being said it was a spectacular effort in center in the first inning with Nolan Showell at the plate Nolan Shawell with a fly ball left center field Denzel Clark racing back He’s all the way Wayne Rendezo on the call on FanDuel Sports Network Quest How did he do it I I don’t know I don’t know because that was absolutely incredible It’s what makes it our UFC gym play of the game Train like a champion at UFC gym Classes coaching recovery all in one place You can join now at ufcjim.com Again our phone number 7142830830 And a game where not only did we see I thought the Angels do a good job you know obviously pitching in this game with Usay Kikuchi but answering the call when they needed to And I thought also for Joe Adell who had a chance to bring one in in this game was not able to do so but was still able uh to come up with a a big time hit later in this game I was very impressed by some of the resiliency we saw from Joe Adell and we spoke with Joe Adell about that We’ll hear that conversation a little bit later on Meanwhile I want to get Nolan Shaell’s take Uh he was on with Erica Weston on FanDuel Sports Network West after the Angels victory Um we’re going to hear that coming up a little bit later on as well But what we do have right now is Ron Washington who’s down in the Angels clubhouse So let’s listen in to what the Halo Skipper had to say Wash Kikuchi was the story tonight for sure What differences did you see with him on the mound tonight He had good life on his fast ball He threw some sliders down and in it was signature pitch last year Her balls in there ball around He worked fast That’s what you want He did it With his pitch count where it was was that the deciding factor in taking him out at that point Yeah And since uh Curtis B and 10 pitches at back that was enough Did you think of the home run robbery in the first caught the ball he rolled jumped down on his feet What do you think Adele was singing that pretty well Home run well He’s shoot he’s shooting the whole field right now Um threw a breaking ball into him and caught it And then that man you had off Fergus get a bullet off the skin to the right side That’s step box that third inning too Three straight RBI singles top of the lineup Yep again and Shanwell came through came through you know something down the line that’s what it’s going to take and we had we split four runs and then we got shut down then they came back out runs with Kenley getting up a couple of times is that why you decided yeah I got him up I said bring him in I want to shut the game three pitch is done Yeah nice day at the office for Kenley Jansen Gets up a couple times If you’re going to get hot if you’re going to get Kenley Jansen hot you might as well get the guy a save Well he did that and ends up picking up the save the 15th for Kenley Jansen Uh or doesn’t get the save actually U he should he should have gotten the save anyway They don’t they’re not giving it to him online but we’ll see how that goes Should be his 15th save anyway Seven to four Angels get the win over the A Maybe not because he only got one out I I take that back He only got one out and there was just one guy on But anyway uh Kenley Jansen ends up slamming the door shut at the end of the game 7 to4 Angels get the win over the A’s tonight You say Kikuchi is the story Um 1.06 erra at home The tail of the tape on you Kikuchi his whole career coming into this season is that he never pitched well at the big A

you by Morango Casino Resort and Spa celebrating 20 years of good times Well you say Kikuchi gets a start for the Angels Jeffrey Spriggs was the well I guess the bulk pitcher after the start was made tonight by the opener Grant Holman the 25-year-old left-hander who did a good job against the top of the Angel Order Certainly helps when uh you have the second coming of Willie Mays out in center field Just an amazing play by Denzel Clark to rob Nolan Showell of a home run but no score after one no score after two But in the third inning the Angels wasted little time in breaking it open Starting with the bottom of the Angel order First it was Scott Kingery getting a base hit then scooted over to second on the error Then Kevin Newman reached on an error So how about the A’s made you know one of the greatest plays we’ve ever seen And then two batters or two innings later with a couple of errors that brought Zag Neto to the plate ready to bring Kingery in Two on with one out Neto at the plate and he drills one through the left side of the infield It’s going to roll on out to the left fielder who fumbles it Rooker and easily coming in and scoring from second base will be Kinkry and the Angels have the early one- nothing lead Next batter Nolan Showell for some revenge Newman is the lead runner at second And here’s the next pitch That’s a little flare in the right center That’s going to drop in for a base hit Newman’s going to be waved around Ball is fumbled a little bit out there in right center Angels will have runners at the corners A run in Two nothing Halos Angels not done in the inning So after Joe Adell strikes out to lead off the frame just to keep score here Kingery base hit Newman reaches on the air Zagetto gets a base hit Nolan Shaw gets a base hit That’s four in a row that have reached for Mike Trout Here’s the pitch Trout grounds one through the left side That’s going to be another RBI hit Meadow scores from third Have had three straight RBI hits here in this inning and have a three nothing lead All while we’re seeing Us Kikuchi just mow down the uh the A’s in this ball game He retires the first 13 A’s uh that he would face in the contest Then in the fourth inning some more support this time in the form of Joe Adele Here’s the pitch on Joe Adell He lifts a high-fly ball that’s carrying deep out into left field and it’s gone That one dropped right into the A’s bullpen Joe Adele with the home run right there His 12th of the season And for Adele he’s hit 10 homers now in his last 29 games Yeah Joe Adele is
