Taylor Ward is batting cleanup for the first time this season on Wednesday against the Pirates.
It’s a different look for the Angels as they try to shake things up and generate a spark. Ward hit his sixth home run of the season during Tuesday’s one-sided affair and will get a look in the cleanup spot after occupying the leadoff spot to open the year. It’s Jorge Soler moving up to the top of the order with Zach Neto batting second again on Wednesday evening.
Taylor Ward went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk against the Pirates on Tuesday.
Ward put the Angels on the board with a solo homer off Bailey Falter in the third inning for his sixth home run of the season. He later drew a walk. The 31-year-old outfielder is slashing .220/.258/.462 across 97 plate appearances. While Ward is waiting for the hits to fall, it’s nice to at least have some power production.
Taylor Ward went 1-for-5 with a solo home run against the Astros on Sunday.
Taylor Ward homered twice in a blowout win Thursday over the Rays.
