Angels vs. Blue Jays Game Highlights (4/8/21) | MLB Highlights

first game of a four-game series against the toronto blue jays angels in dunedin florida and that is the spring training site for the toronto blue jays it's a good veteran lineup that ross stripling will face for a second start of the season he lasted just three and a third innings versus the yankees that was on saturday when he allowed three runs on seven hits he had trouble finding that good curveball that he needs to get batters out this is shohei ohtani who is the d.h for the angels oh tony off to a good start batting 300 or knee or they going swinging to miss another off speed pitcher tiny never really picked it up and stripling has his first strikeout of the game five for seven in his career versus ross stripling with two home runs for travel do we make it 16. he's going to say they got 60. do we make it extra bases you bet as it trickles into the corner trout easily with the slide into second mike trout with his second double of the year trout with that double is now six for eight with two home runs against ross stripley trout now who's at second base so the batter is anthony rendon rolls to the right side in the hole for a base hit butterfield one to nothing oh yes anthony rendon is just fine and this is a little slider on the outer half and a great at-bat by rendon goes right with it hits it where nobody's at angel's first two hits both the other direction on ross stripling and they put a run on the board trout scores easily from second base a big two out hit right there for anthony rindon angels with a one-nothing lead biggio moves up to second now two outs in the inning and hey oscar hernandez is the battery there's a base hit that's going to score a run vizio's around third he'll come in to score and another two out base hit rendon did it for the angels in the top half pay oscar hits a 02 basic to right center and it's a tie game one to one you win silver slugger awards by being a tough out comes up with a big hit to tight driving home kamen bizio [Applause] [Applause] for his second home run of the season and the blue jays have scored three in the bottom of the first to take a 3-1 lead telling you they were flirting with danger up in the strike zone against vladimir guru i don't care if you were just trying to show him that pitch you are flirting with danger when you've got a guy who can hit the ball to all fields with that kind of power so the next batter is iglesias a base hit could mean a run and here's the first pitch on jose and he rips one into left field and that is going to mean a run just getting to it is the left fielder guriel coming in and scoring is upton and the angels have a runner at second back-to-back doubles a run on the board and now the lead for the blue jays slice to a run it's 3-2 so here's fowler breaking ball lifted into shallow center gritshit broke back he's got a hassle and he makes a heck of a play randall grichik saw the big swing broke back and then had to hustle makes a diving play to retire next to fowler so the batter now is david fletcher hit could still tie up the game it's 3-2 toronto in the second that one shot to the right side toward the corner it goes and it's down contact is king for that man it's an rbi it's a two run inning two out rbis oh they hurt the opposing team just putting the ball in play fletch do what he does best really making you upset as a pitcher you think you make a pitch he makes contact slices out with right field picks up another double angel's able to tie this game up at three so the hitter now is shohei ohtani who struck out his first time up by guerrero i got ahead of myself if he doesn't catch that ball the angels take the lead that was a nice play by guerrero who's playing first base this season so that the plate is joe panic left that one out over the plate ranging to his left fletcher recovers bare-handed puts it all together my goodness what a fine athletic play yeah fletch you know he loves the game he's always smile but he can slow the game down as well that's a tough play hop on him he still does not panic against joe connor he makes the play crowded double in two times up here's the pitch and mike trout swings at that one and drills a ball deep into left center field it is trout of here boy he hit that one out of sight there against stripling trout has been on fire that's home run number three of the season and that will give the angels a 4-3 lead the angels lead it 4-3 trout three career home runs against this man one up one away kevin biggios oh for one with a walk and a run scored it'll be the next batter swinging to drive high fly ball to right field power looking up this one's gonna go home run kevin bizio his second of the season and the blue jays have tied it up they're never out of it because of the threat of the home run and that they have that ability to do that and kevin vigil is going to tie this one up two-seam fastball out over the plate and you can see with that nice little uppercut swing kevin with his second home run second rbi of the season two that's righty guerrero had a two run home run his first time up deep to center field he's batting with bushette at second another breaking ball base hit past fletcher in the right center here comes bow around third and he'll score well you talk about a young hitter making an adjustment from pitch to pitch that was terrific oh boy was it after watch how he cuts the swing down slaps that ball the other way now the angels need a two-out hit shohei otani will be the batter swings at that one and lines the ball into right field that's going to fall in for a base hit fowler scores ohtani delivers with two outs an rvi single and this game is tied up once again it's 5-5 angels have runners now at first and second two outs here in the top of the ninth in a five-five game and now mike trout is going to have a say as far as this game is concerned [Applause] and richard makes another terrific play randall grichik broke on contact [Applause] third walk issued by angel's pitching looks like we're going to have a pinch runner come into the ball game for teles and that's jonathan davis there's a pick-off toss and the pinch runners picked off the bag that wasn't even close right there wow they brought him in to run for teles and he gets picked off to end the inning so we are headed to the 10th second and third two outs in a five-five game and fletcher hits a fly ball into shallow center that's gonna drop in for a base hit the angels will score one the angels will score two and david fletcher shows some magic with that bat again for the angels he's had a three rbi night and the angels have a 7-5 lead the blue jays are down to their final out in this ball game angels need one more out that will do it guess who's five and two the angels off to an amazing start this year they head out on the road they are victorious
