The Cy Young front-runner stifles the Angels, who manage just three hits in a 2-1 loss. It is their fourth consecutive game with three hits or less, which is a first in franchise history.
MIAMI — The Angels and their struggling offense ran into one of baseball’s best pitchers on Tuesday.The Angels managed just three hits in a 2-1 loss to the Miami Marlins and Cy Young front-runner Sandy Alcantara.
Their other hit was a Mike Trout infield single in the seventh, snapping an 0-for-16 skid for Trout. Trout was forced at second, but then Shohei Ohtani stole second and went to third on a fly ball. He was stranded there when Jared Walsh struck out. The Marlins’ right-hander improved his ERA to 1.82. He’s also pitched a major league-leading 123-1/3 innings.
“When you’re able to do that, to start off with the leadoff hitter, you know the guy’s got good command,” Haselman said. “His ball was moving so much and when you throw 98-99 and it’s moving, it becomes a little difficult.”
