Walsh, who bats left-handed, does not get many at-bats against left-handed pitchers, but some recent success in his limited exposure to them could help his confidence.
ANAHEIM ― Jared Walsh was on deck in the fourth inning Wednesday. In the Cleveland Guardians’ bullpen, left-hander Pat Hentges was getting warm. Sure enough, as soon as Zach Plesac walked Mike Trout to end an eight-pitch plate appearance, Guardians manager Terry Francona emerged from the dugout to remove his right-handed starting pitcher.
Walsh’s double against Gose on Monday night was his first extra-base hit against a left-handed pitcher since October of last year. His RBI single against Hentges – a 110-mph laser to right field – drove in the Angels’ seventh run of the game Wednesday. Gose has enjoyed an unusual career. From 2012-16, he was an outfielder for the Toronto Blue Jays and Detroit Tigers, only to emerge last year as a relief pitcher. In that short time, he’s displayed a reverse split, enjoying more success against right-handed hitters than lefties.
