The Angels picked up their sixth win in seven games as Zach Neto hit two home runs in a 9-4 victory over the visiting Seattle Mariners on Sunday.
Angels reliever Ben Joyce was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday before a loss to the Mariners after exiting Friday’s game early.“That’s kind of gone away already,” Neto said. “I feel like I’ve been here for quite a bit. I just wake up, and it’s another day at the ballpark. I’m done having those [first] nerves. I feel very comfortable out there. It’s just handling business out there.
Neto’s offense has been a continued work in progress. He has an on-base-plus-slugging rate of .741, is tied for second in the majors in hit by pitches and has five stolen bases. He is batting .253 with 10 doubles, 20 RBIs and five home runs. The first part of the Neto show happened in the second inning against starter Logan Gilbert and gave the Angels a 3-0 lead. His second shot came in the eighth off reliever Chris Flexen, a hit that plopped into the visitor’s bullpen before bouncing into the Angels’ bullpen.
