Los Angeles Angels Possibility will give a lot of possibility to a young player when he hosts Baltimore Oriols in Nahim, California on Saturday night.
Outfielder Matthew Lugo was called from Triple-e Salt Lake on his 24th birthday on Friday. He will probably start his first major league on Saturday or Sunday.
Lugo started his major league to lose Oriols 4–1 on Friday, entering the eighth innings in the ninth and a pinch of runner in the Manning Center Field.
Angels are hoping that Lugo realizes the promise that Shortstop Zach Neto and Catcher Logan O’Hope have so far shown after receiving major league opportunities.
Angels acquired Lugo in the last season in a trading deadline deal with Red Sox, sent to Reliever Louis Garcia to Boston. Lugo conducted a good spring training and formed the Major League team before settling in Salt Lake.
Lugo landed for a slow start with bees but he changed it late. He was hitting four homes, nine couples, 18 RBI and a .656 OPS .212 in 35 sports.
“I think when the weather started, I was a little more conscious about swing decisions, and this made me a little longer on fastball,” Lugo said. “And now I am just trying to stay on time for the heater. And I am watching the ball very well and recognizing the pitches very well, and my swing takes it after that.”
The right hand-handed Jack Kochanoviz (1-5, 5.79 ERA) will start the eighth of the season on Saturday for Los Angeles.
After making five runs and seven hits in five innings, he is damaging Detroit Tigers. He has so far faced Oriols in his career.
Wright-Hand Kyle Gibson (0–1, 14.09) will make the third beginning of the season for Oriols, who joined the Major League roster on 28 April after spending the first month of the season in minors.
Gibson, who signed a year, signed a year, $ 5.25 million contract with Baltimore, with 5.83 ERAs in 15 career, starting against angels. Gibson is being counted to provide an experienced appearance in the club house at the age of 37 years and at the age of 13 years.
He left a good impression with the Oriols organization, playing in Baltimore in 2023 and won 15 games.
Gibson said, “I am thankful that these people welcomed us a few years ago and we were able to do a lot of fun, because they had an impact on me, you also know? In many different ways,” Gibson said. “Hopefully, I can still fit with these people. I know I am two years older now, so hopefully, they are not against me.”
Gibson’s reputation not only affects the small players of the team, but also affects a 41 -year -old veteran like Pitcher Charlie Morton.
Morton said, “I have not heard anything, but (Gibson) looks like a great friend. The unprecedented career. When I saw (Gibson signed), I was excited,” said Morton. “I mean, people were talking about Kyle when I came here for the first time. He was like,” Oh yes, this was a boy in the Kyle Club House. Gibbi I was one of the best people who I was around. A great teammate. “
