Kendrys Morales ditched his glasses and found his swing.
Morales connected for a pinch-hit homer in the 10th inning Authentic Ryan Switzer Jersey , sending the Toronto Blue Jays to a 7-6 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday.
Morales hit a two-out drive to right off Hansel Robles for his eighth homer. Robles (2-3) was making his Angels debut after he was claimed off waivers from the New York Mets.
The 35-year-old Morales made his major league debut with Los Angeles in 2006 and played for the Angels for six years.
âIt always feels good, I donât think it matters more or less that it was the team that signed me,â Morales said through an interpreter. âThat was a good moment and Iâll take it and Iâm happy for it.â
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons thinks thereâs something to Morales not using the glasses he tried.
âHeâs always been a good hitter. Heâs always been a dangerous hitter,â Gibbons said. âI was telling somebody the other day, he got rid of his glasses. The glasses were screwing him up.â
Curtis Granderson, Aledmys Diaz and Devon Travis also homered for Toronto, which split the four-game series after dropping the first two. Diaz had two hits and scored three times.
Travis praised Gibbons for sending Morales to the plate in the 10th.
âTwo outs, putting Kendrys in in that situation. Heâs a good hitter. That was awesome,â Travis said. âKendrys has been swinging the bat so well really all year. You can look at his numbers and they donât quite tell the story. I feel every time the guy goes to the box he puts the barrel on the ball, he puts up a good at-bat and just happy things have been going better in the luck department lately. That was a big one right there. Heâs a guy in this locker room that gels everyone together.â
The Blue Jays had a 6-3 lead before the Angels rallied in the eighth, taking advantage of two errors. Ryan Tepera (5-2) replaced Aaron Loup with two out and the bases loaded, and Martin Maldonado responded with a three-run double to left.
Tepera then picked Maldonado off second to end the inning. He also worked the ninth Authentic Adrian Clayborn Jersey , and Tyler Clippard got three outs for his fourth save.
Toronto jumped in front on Travisâ three-run homer off Felix Pena in the second. Diaz hit a tiebreaking leadoff drive in the sixth, and Granderson added his seventh of the season with two out.
Justin Upton hit his 17th homer for the Angels, and Maldonado had two hits and four RBIs. Pena, a converted reliever making his second career start, allowed three runs and eight hits in five innings.
âWe battled back. We didnât do enough things in the end,â Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. âWe couldnât keep it in the park. They hit four home runs off us. We do a good job getting back in games.â
FREE TIME
Angels star Mike Trout has some free time during games when he serves as the designated hitter. His sprained index finger has kept him from playing center field, which can make for some restless moments.
âIâm going to tell him to go play catch in left field and roll it back left-handed so he can feel like he plays some defense. He goes crazy in the dugout,â Scioscia said. âDHing is not easy, especially when youâre used to the everyday separation of going out there and focusing on defense. The best thing to get an at-bat out of your head is to go out and play defense.â
PITCHING WITH PURPOSE
Toronto right-hander Sam Gaviglio was charged with three runs and five hits in 4 2/3 innings in his first start back from paternity leave. Gaviglioâs daughter, Livia, was born on Tuesday.
âIt was nice. Itâs like riding a bike,â Gaviglio said. âItâs just another baseball game.â
TRAINERâS ROOM
Angels: LHP Tyler Skaggs Kenny Clark Jersey , who was scratched on Thursday with hamstring tightness, came out of his bullpen session Saturday with no problems and will start Monday.
UP NEXT
Blue Jays: LHP J.A. Happ (9-3, 3.56 ERA) pitches Monday against Houston. Happ has allowed no runs in two of his last three starts.
Angels: Skaggs (6-4, 2.81 ERA) is all set for a makeup game at Kansas City. He is 3-0 with a sparkling 0.45 ERA in June.
â
Rookie right-hander Freddy Peralta seems to make history every time he steps on the mound for the Milwaukee Brewers barely weeks into his major league career.
Fittingly enough, too, since heâs about to face a Cincinnati Reds pitching staff â mainly, reliever Michael Lorenzen â that is doing some pretty historic things themselves. Only with their bats and not their arms.
The 22-year-old Peralta is 3-0 with a 1.59 ERA in his first four major league starts, including two in which he has struck out 10 or more and allowed only one hit. Heâs the first pitcher in baseballâs live-ball ERA to do that, and the first Brewers pitcher to have two such games in a career.
How good has Peralta been? He has permitted more than two hits in only one of the four starts. In 22 2/3 innings, he has allowed only seven hits and struck out 35.
Peralta is the first major league pitcher since at least 1908 to give up three hits or fewer and strike out at least five in each of his first four career games.
âHis stuff looks electric from center field, and you can see that in the swings and takes and called strikeouts,â Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich told reporters after Peralta pitched seven shutout innings of one-hit ball to beat the Kansas City Royals 5-1 on Tuesday. âHeâs been great every time he goes out there Mason Crosby Jersey , and hopefully that continues.â
Peralta is doing it without an overpowering fastball, like so many other young pitchers are today. Heâs throwing his four-seam fastball at an average velocity of 91.2 mph, or about what an average starter threw 15 years or so ago.
âHeâs got a high spin rate and the ball just kind of jumps at you, even though itâs 92 mph,â Royals manager Ned Yost said.
If the last-place Reds can get to Peralta on Sunday at Great American Ball Park â and no team has yet â they would split a four-game series in which they lost the first two games.
Cincinnati bounced back from a 3-2 deficit Saturday with an eight-run seventh inning powered by a pinch-grand slam from Lorenzen off a Jacobs Barnes fastball and went on to win 12-3 for its 10th victory in 13 games.
âMichael Lorenzen was pretty special,â Reds interim manager Jim Riggleman said.
Pinch-hit grand slams are rare enough. But by a pitcher?
Whatâs even more remarkable is Lorenzen also homered Friday night during an 8-2 Brewers victory, and he homered in his previous at-bat before that while pinch hitting against the Chicago Cubs on June 24.
âI love playing baseball,â Lorenzen said. âEvery day, I look forward to contributing in some form.â
Thatâs three homers in the last three at-bats for Lorenzen, whoâs quickly becoming the National Leagueâs bullpen equivalent of the Angelsâ multi-dimensional Shohei Ohtani.
Lorenzen is 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA in 15 games, and heâs 4-for-6 at the plate. Heâs the first pitcher with multiple pinch homers in a season since Brooks Kieschnick in 2003 â and he has done it in only a week.
âThe guyâs swinging the bat really well, thatâs for sure Authentic Rasheem Green Jersey ,â Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. âWe treat him as a position player. Obviously, weâve got to make some adjustments ⦠heâs swinging it well.â
Then thereâs this: No Reds pitcher had hit a grand slam in 59 years, or since Bob Purkey in 1959, until starter Anthony DeScalfani did it June 23 against the Cubs. Now, Reds pitchers have hit grand slams twice in eight days.
Lorenzenâs homer was more than enough for the Reds to overcome Eric Thamesâ 14th home run against them in the two seasons and his fourth this season â the first three of which were game-winners.
Only two of the Redsâ 15 hits Saturday were for extra bases â Lorenzenâs homer and a Scooter Gennett double â but they were 8-for-16 with runners in scoring position.
Peralta will go up against veteran right-hander Matt Harvey (3-5), who has recently given the Reds a glimpse of his former dominating self with the New York Mets. He has won each of his last two starts, giving up three runs in 12 2/3 innings, after going 0-3 in his previous four starts.
