The rest of the Angels’ rotation has delivered mixed results, albeit better lately.said before Saturday’s game. “Not taking anything away from the guys we had last year. If guys need off days, keeping everybody fresh, I think that’s been key and it’s been paying off [this season].”Take, for example, the games the Angels have played without two of their star position players.
Before Saturday, third baseman Anthony Rendon had sat out nine games either to rest or to serve a suspension. The Angels went 6-3 in his absence, with Gio Urshela, a natural third baseman, and Luis Rengifo playing the position.
