Venue: Angel Stadium of Anaheim — Anaheim, California
First Pitch: 9:38 PM ET / 6:38 PM PT
Surface: Natural Grass
Broadcast: Bally Sports West / AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain
Weather Update — Angel Stadium
Temperature: 72–75°F at first pitch
Humidity: 56%
Wind: 7–10 mph blowing out to right‑center
Chance of Rain: <5%
Conditions: Ideal baseball weather, slight boost to left‑handed power

OF Nolan Jones — IL (back)
SS Ezequiel Tovar — IL (ankle)
RP Justin Lawrence — IL (shoulder)
C Elias Díaz — Day‑to‑day (thumb)

3B Anthony Rendon — IL (wrist)
SP Reid Detmers — IL (elbow)
RP Carlos Estévez — IL (lat strain)

Starting Pitching Matchup
Colorado — RHP Tomoyuki Sugano (Projected: 3–5, 4.44 ERA, 1.31 WHIP)
Profile:
Veteran finesse pitcher
Mixes cutter, slider, and splitter
Excellent command, low walk rate
Vulnerable to hard contact when behind in counts
Struggles vs. left‑handed hitters (.284 avg allowed)
Matchup Notes: Angels’ left‑handed bats (Neto from right side but hits righties well, Schanuel, Adell from right side with power) should get good looks at Sugano’s cutter.
Los Angeles — RHP Griffin Rodriguez (Projected: 1–4, 5.18 ERA, 1.46 WHIP)
Profile:
Power arm with mid‑90s fastball
Slider is plus but inconsistent
Walk rate remains high
Fly‑ball tendencies can be dangerous in Anaheim with warm air
Matchup Notes: Colorado’s lineup is right‑heavy, which helps Rodriguez, but his command issues create volatility. Rockies’ aggressive hitters may jump early fastballs.
