Mayfield's 3-run homer off Maeda leads Angels past Twins MORE:
MINNEAPOLIS — Andrew Heaney found his groove, retiring the last 11 batters he faced.Jack Mayfield hit a three-run homer and Heaney finished seven innings for his longest start of the season, leading the Los Angeles Angels past Minnesota 3-2 on Thursday night after the Twins traded away All-Star slugger Nelson Cruz.
"There’s times when you’re not going good that you just start doubting,” said Heaney, who lowered his ERA to 5.32, still his worst mark for any season he’s topped 30 innings. “I can almost promise you that there’s a lot of other guys that feel that way, even the best players in the game.” Maeda managed just fine against his most famous fellow countryman, with two strikeouts and no hits allowed for Japanese hitting-pitching sensation Shohei Ohtani.
After swinging hard in the Home Run Derby last week, Ohtani is 4 for 24 with one homer and 14 strikeouts out of the All-Star break, but Maddon said he sees no reason to worry about the major league home run leader.
