2023 Game Nine: Angels 9, Blue Jays 5

 

it's been tough

José Berríos nearly got away with it: he left the game with the Blue Jays up 4-3 in the fifth, but there were two on and nobody out as Adam Cimber came in to face Mike Trout. That a three-run home run woud follow felt nearly inevitable; it quite possibly felt that way to Adam Cimber himself, who looked more or less unfazed by the development (he's certainly given up home runs to worse players, so why get down about this one, right?). Ah well! Three more hits for Bo, though, a home run among them; three more for Vladdy, and a home run for Chapman, too. In fact, coming into the game, I'm pretty sure I saw that the MLB leaders in base hits so far this season were Chapman, Bichette, and Guerrero, in that order. It hasn't all been smooth sailing through this long, season-opening road trip, but it is undeniable that the boys have been boppin'.
