The Angels failed to capitalize on bases-loaded opportunities in the fourth and ninth innings as their winning streak ended in a loss to the Pirates.after a 3-0 loss Saturday to note Zach Neto’s missing presence at the top of the lineup, the rookie shortstop a scratch because of back tightness. But Rengifo — who’d landed in Nevin’s doghouse July 15 after giving a less-than-ideal effort in chasing an errant grounder — provided his own lift on the last game of the homestand.
Unconventional, however, that he jumped on a first-pitch changeup and roped his second homer off the day off the left-field foul pole. He capped off a banner day with a full-extension snare of an Endy Rodriguez liner at second base to end the eighth. “Not to go back on an incident, but I think since that first game — when baseball’s taken away from you, you seem to appreciate it a little more,” Nevin said on Friday of pulling Rengifo July 15. “Even though it was for a few innings, I think it was a good moment for all of us.”
