• Angels' Andrelton Simmons: Hits go-ahead homer Saturday

  08/27/2017 • By RotoWire Staff

  Simmons went 2-for-4 with a double and a go-ahead, three-run homer in Saturday's win over the Astros. Simmons channeled his inner Adrian Beltre, going down on a knee to get a Tyler Clippard offering in the bottom of the eighth. He has been slumping a bit lately -- Simmons was batting just .217/.292/.349 in August entering play Saturday -- but his season numbers are still excellent. He's easily been a top-10 earner at shortstop to this point with his cross-category production.
