Randal Grichuk was looking forward to getting Thursday off for physical recovery and mental recalibration after the Los Angeles Angels put him on waivers for the second time in two weeks.
The worn-out outfielder was forced into action anyway in the first inning after teammate Luis Rengifo hurt himself with a swing in the on-deck circle — maybe the most freakish version yet of the steady misfortune that has pelted the struggling Angels all summer.
Kyren Paris tied the score with his first career RBI before scoring the winning run for the Angels, who rallied in the ninth against Emmanuel Clase for only their second win in 11 games. A lengthy rally came down to Grichuk, and he drilled a 1-2 cutter to center for his sixth career walk-off hit. “That was an impressive inning elite arm,” Grichuk said. “We were able to string a bunch of good at-bats together.”“He's had his moments this year,” Cleveland manager Terry Francona said about Clase. “That's the way the game goes. He's been good this year. They're humans.”
Shohei Ohtani missed his fourth consecutive game for the Angels with a right oblique injury, but manager Phil Nevin indicated the AL MVP front-runner could be back in the lineup soon.
