Landen Roupp was knocked around in a no-decision against the Brewers on Thursday, surrendering five runs (four earned) on six hits in only 3 2/3 innings.
Roupp also issued three free passes while striking out a pair of batters on the day. The Brewers scratched out a run against him in the first inning on a sacrifice fly and added another in the second on a wild pitch. The Brewers then broke the game open in the fourth by pushing three more runs across and chasing Roupp from the game. The right-hander got just five swings and misses on 78 pitches in the ballgame, posting a CSW of 27 percent. He’ll look to bounce back and improve upon his 4.91 ERA and 1.52 WHIP when he does battle against the Padres in San Diego on Wednesday.
Nick Kurtz homered twice in a loss to the Angels on Wednesday.
Congrats to Kurtz on his first two-homer game of his career, even if it comes in a loss. The rookie 22-year-old doubled his total of roundtrippers to four on the season, and improves his OPS to .696. Expec some ups and downs from Kurz during his first taste of MLB action, but he offers significant offensive upside in his left-handed bat.
Taylor Ward doubled and tripled in a win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
The Angels are hitting the heck out of the baseball right now, and on top of four homers off JP Sears, Ward was able to contribute a pair of extra-base hits. He also singled, so he was just a homer short of the cycle. “Just” may not be the right word for it, but you know what we mean. Ward is now hitting .214/.259/.487 in 2025.
Logan O’Hoppe homered twice to help the Angels to a 10-5 win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
Zach Neto homered and stole a base in a win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
JP Sears gave up six runs and gave up four homers in a loss to the Angels on Wednesday.
Jack Kochanowicz walked five and allowed four runs — three earned — in a no-decision against the Athletics on Wednesday.
