(18:55) Paolo Espino had his worst outing of the season as he allowed six runs in five innings and could not hang onto an early 3-0 lead. What was missing from Paolo in this start?
(27:45) Anthony Rendon of the Angels is out for the season due to a hip issue. We recommend you check out our conversation on the risks associated with signing players in their 30's in our Game 107 episode.
