So I threw to first trying to get the out there, and then it all unfolded. I heard he’s doing OK. But it’s a tough thing to see.”
Silseth had thrown 3 1/3 scoreless innings earlier than Francisco Lindor scored on the play, however lefty Aaron Loup changed him and gave up an RBI double to DJ Stewart.

“He was incredible,” O’Hoppe mentioned. “He was mixing everything up. He had his heater command. He was stressing that early in the game. It was another fun one. I felt like we had a lot of options and I was really impressed.”
The Angels might shift to a five-man rotation with out Ohtani and go together with a mix of Lucas Giolito, Patrick Sandoval, Reid Detmers, Tyler Anderson and Griffin Canning.
