Angels broadcaster Rex Hudler likes to say you can watch the game for years and eventually you will still see something you’ve never seen before. That exact saying came true on opening day.
For the first time that I can recall seeing, a pitcher gave up an unearned run on a home run.
In the third inning of Monday’s game. Rangers second-baseman Ian Kinsler popped up into foul territory. Angels catcher Mike Napoli made an attempt to catch the pop up for the out. Napoli dropped the ball and on the next pitch Kinsler homered off John Lackey. Because Kinsler should have been out, the run was unearned.
That was a first for me. Feel free to share your experiences seeing something you considered out of the ordinary at an Angels game.
