Estévez entered with the Angels working on a shutout, but he gave up a two-run homer to Adam Frazier in a 2-1 loss. Griffin Canning began the game with 5⅔ innings.
Angels relief pitcher Carlos Estévez shows his frustration after giving up a go-ahead two-run home run during the ninth inning of their 2-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Friday night at Angel Stadium. ANAHEIM — When Carlos Estevez let go of the pitch, he had an idea that something bad was about to happen.
Up until that moment, the Angels had gotten outstanding pitching from starter Griffin Canning and relievers Adam Cimber, Matt Moore and Luis Garcia. They had to get three more outs to continue to hold the one-run lead, and Estévez couldn’t do it. “I’m feeling pretty good,” Estévez said. “I just fill up the strike zone as best as I can with quality pitches.”Washington had other things to lament from a loss that dropped the Angels a season-worst 11 games under .500. Mostly, it was the Angels lack of production at the plate.
The Angels got a leadoff double from Luis Guillorme in the third, and this time they got the runner to third on a ground ball, but they still couldn’t get him in. The Angels tried a suicide squeeze and Mickey Moniak popped up the bunt, hitting into a double play. He said the difference has been focusing more on battling against the hitter instead of thinking so much about his own mechanics to produce the perfect pitch.
