Game 33: vs. Los Angeles Angels
Erasmo Ramirez had a great outing for the Angels, finishing the game with a line of 8.0-8-1-1-1-4. He would however take the loss, as Cole Hamels was absolutely outstanding today. The lefty pitched 8 scoreless innings, giving up only 3 hits, 2 walks and striking out 9. The only run of the game came from the bat of Albert Pujols, when the slugger hit his 12th home run on the season in the 4th inning. Pujols finished the night 2-3 with a run scored, an RBI and a walk. Adrian Cardenas went 3-3 with a double.
LV 1 – LAA 0 (win 26-7)
