Angels' Taylor Ward: Slams second homer Tuesday

Ward went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a 5-1 loss to the Astros on Tuesday.

Ward went yard in the eighth inning off Lance McCullers for the Angels' only run of the night. In fact, he tallied two of the team's three hits. The 27-year-old may be a sneaky call-up for the Angels, as he's collected two homers and four RBI in seven games as an outfield fill-in while others deal with injuries. He's only batting .217 right now, but it's a small sample, and he hit .277 through 102 plate appearances in 2020.
