Griffin Canning and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. both made some of their earliest baseball memories up in the stands at Angel Stadium
When the Angels right-hander and the Blue Jays slugger both stepped onto the Big A field as big leaguers for the first time Tuesday night, they created a few memories of their own before Brian Goodwin won it for the Halos.
"It's pretty cool being the hometown kid," said Canning, an Orange County native. "I grew up watching the Angels, so to be in this clubhouse ... and that was actually my first time playing on this field. I thought I did a pretty good job keeping it simple and not making it bigger than it was." Guerrero went 0 for 2 with two walks while playing the first road game of his career in his Hall of Fame father's home ballpark.
Vladimir Jr. has fond memories of Angels games and Disneyland trips before he began the baseball career that led to his ballyhooed big league debut last week in Toronto.Canning had a suite full of friends and family, along with his high school's baseball team and untold dozens of friends in the stands.
Guerrero drew a leadoff walk in the ninth inning, but Hansel Robles got three quick outs for his second save.Brandon Drury hit his third homer in four games for the Blue Jays, who had won three straight and nine of 12.
