Taylor Ward is called out on strikes on a 3-and-2 pitch with the bases loaded in a two-run game in the sixth inning, and Manager Phil Nevin is ejected for arguing the call in a 5-2 defeat.
HOUSTON — Someday, perhaps in the next year or two, baseball games won’t turn on calls like the one that earned Phil Nevin an early exit on Thursday night.
The Angels were trailing 4-2, but they had loaded the bases with one out. Taylor Ward, who had driven in the game’s first run, worked the count full against right-hander Hector Neris. Ward then took a sinker that replays showed was low. Scheurwater rang him up for strike three. Despite the call, the Angels still had Mike Trout at the plate with the bases loaded, a base hit away from tying the score. Trout hit a pop-up.
He allowed just one run over the first four innings, at times cruising through the lineup efficiently.
