- The five-year Cleveland curse is finally over for the Angels.
Guardians manager Terry Francona felt Giménez made the right play.
"I think when it's all said and done, it's easy to say, 'Oh, just take the out,'" Francona said. "Because they pinch-ran, we couldn't defend the stolen base and I actually thought it was a pretty heads-up play. He just yanked the throw. "If he throws that ball on line, everybody's saying that's the play of the night. So one, we want to be careful when it doesn't work, kind of condemning the play, because I actually thought he was thinking, and he didn't just react. I thought he did a pretty good job."
went 0 for 2, but reached base three times - two walks and on catcher's interference - for the Angels., who led the AL with nine triples last season, hit his fourth to the gap in left-center. José Ramírez followed with a drive that Trout snagged while smashing into the padded outfield wall as Rosario scored."I had a bead on it and then I didn't think I was going to hit it," Trout said. "I was at a weird angle and it came up a little quicker than I thought.
"He's just a big kid that loves playing baseball, which I love hearing," Francona said. "That bodes well for our game. When you use the word generational, I don't think that's too big of an adjective. I was looking at his pitching numbers - they're stupid.
