Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington spoke on Mike Trout.

The Milwaukee Brewers will get a chance to visit an old pal when they open a four-game road series against Willy Adames and the San Francisco Giants on Monday night. The teams flew into San Francisco on Sunday night experiencing opposite emotions. While the Brewers were celebrating a 14-1 thumping of the Athletics to complete a series win and a 4-2 homestand, the Giants were lamenting having squandered a three-run, ninth-inning lead in a 5-4 loss to the Los Angeles Angels that completed a 5-5 trip. Adames was a driving force in back-to-back National League Central titles by the Brewers in 2023 and 2024.

The Minor League Baseball season is in full swing. Below is a recap of four hurlers with area ties and one whose campaign will begin Friday. • Ferndale graduate Trey McGough has a 6.92 ERA with 10 strikeouts in 13 innings with the Charlotte Knights, Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. The Pittsburgh Pirates’ 24th-round pick in 2019 allowed six earned runs in 22/3 innings Sunday. The ...

San Francisco Giants outfielder Lee Jung-hoo went hitless for the first time in five games on Sunday, but made a highlight-reel catch in center field. Batting third and starting in center field against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium, Lee went 0-for-5, ending his five-game hitting streak and marking the fourth time this season he failed to record a hit. The game drew attention as a mini Korea-Japan contest between Lee and Angels left-handed starter Kikuchi Yusei.

After Mike Trout touched home plate with a run to pull the Angels within two runs in the bottom of the ninth, he had a quick message for Jo Adell as he stepped to the plate with the bases loaded. “You don't need to be the hero,” Trout told Adell.

The San Francisco Giants got off to a great start, but might be coming back to earth a bit of late. To begin the season, the Giants were one of the biggest surprises of the year. With a hot start, San Francisco was proving early on that they might be able to be a contender. The Giants lost both of their series against the Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Angels.

The fate of the Giants' season wasn't going to be determined by how they performed on this 10-game road trip against the New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Angels. Closer Ryan Walker inherited a three-run lead in the bottom of the ninth inning but blew the save, allowing four runs as San Francisco lost to Los Angeles, 5-4, on Easter Sunday at Angel Stadium, forcing the Giants to settle for a 5-5 road trip.

A matchup between Justin Verlander and Mike Trout may not resonate the way it used to, but when Verlander struck out Trout with a fastball at 97.4 mph in the sixth inning, it was easy to appreciate that flash of greatness by the 42-year-old right-hander. In fact, this entire start showed Verlander still has a bit left in the tank. Verlander allowed a run and two hits in six innings Sunday.

Jo Adell capped a four-run bottom of the ninth with a one-out, bases-clearing double, delivering the Los Angeles Angels a 5-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday afternoon in Anaheim, Calif., and denying Justin Verlander his first win of the season. After Verlander threw six sharp innings in pursuit of career win No. 263 and Sam Huff hit his first home run since 2023, the Giants took a 4-1 lead into the ninth on the verge of a sixth win on a 10-game trip.

Giants pitcher Justin Verlander turned back the clock against the Angels.

One of the greatest rivalries in 21st-century baseball continues on Sunday when Justin Verlander and the San Francisco Giants close out a three-game road series against Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, Calif.

One day after the Angels got a combined shutout from Tyler Anderson and three relievers, the Giants overcame two home runs by Trout with a combined six-hit effort of Landen Roupp and two teammates. Trout's homers, both solo shots, were his seventh and eighth of the season.

Matt Chapman rarely feels panicked on defense — you don’t win five Gold Glove Awards and two Platinum Glove Awards by showing any fear in the field. “I got set up a little late because I was trying to fix this divot that was out there by third base,” Chapman said after the Giants’ 3-2 victory.

Matt Chapman set the tone early for the Giants, giving Landen Roupp the run support he needed to have his best start of the season so far as the Giants defeated the Angels tonight.
