The Angels start a lineup of 10 players who had never appeared in a major league game for another team, and four of the key contributors were former first-round picks.
ANAHEIM — It requires a good deal of optimism to think that the entirely homegrown lineup the Angels used on Friday night has the same future as the one they last used 23 years ago.Using a starting lineup with 10 players who had never appeared in another major league uniform, the Angels beat the Texas Rangers, 4-1, to win their fifth straight game.
This time the Angels started catcher Logan O’Hoppe, first baseman Matt Thaiss, second baseman David Fletcher, shortstop Livan Soto, third baseman Luis Rengifo, left fielder Jo Adell, center fielder Mike Trout, right fielder Taylor Ward, designated hitter Shohei Ohtani and pitcher Reid Detmers. Four of those first-rounders – Trout , Ward , Adell and Detmers – had key contributions to the victory.
