OAKLAND http://www.angelsfanproshop.com/authentic-zack-cozart-jersey , Calif. (AP) —like the ace he had been with the New York Mets.Khris Davis belted that misfired breaking ball into the left field seats, but a big hit from Andrelton Simmons ensured Harvey’s first start with the Angels was an enjoyable one.Harvey pitched solidly in his Angels debut, Andrelton Simmons hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning and Los Angeles beat the Oakland Athletics 6-2 on Friday night for its first victory under new manager Brad Ausmus.“He was really, really good,” Ausmus said of Harvey. “He used all of his pitches, his velocity was up in the mid-90s, he threw some really good curveballs. I liked the fire that he showed.”Mike Trout doubled in two runs, Kole Calhoun had an RBI single and Justin Bour drew a bases-loaded walk to spark an Angels offense that failed to score over the first 16 innings of the season.Harvey was coming off an uneven spring but was sharp in his first start since signing an $11 million, one-year deal with the Angels in December. The former Mets ace allowed two runs and four hits in six innings. He pushed his fastball over 95 mph while walking three and striking out one.“We won this game against that kind of offense because he kept them off the board,” said catcher Jonathan Lucroy, who signed with the Angels this offseason. “I was in that lineup last year, I know how good that lineup is. Him only giving up two runs to them, that’s pretty impressive.”Harvey was at his best after giving up two walks and an infield single in the fifth. He struck out Ramon Laureano on three pitches and got Nick Hundley to ground into a double play.“That was the big point of the game for me,” Harvey said. “To get through that with no runs … that’s what I remember from when I was good.”Davis homered for the second straight day, but the A’s normally reliable bullpen didn’t hold the lead. Davis, who led the majors with 48 home runs in 2018, has three in four games.The Angels managed two hits off starter Marco Estrada and reliever Lou Trivino before scoring four times in the eighth.Lucroy and Brian Goodwin singled off reliever Joakim Soria (0-1). After Calhoun doubled in Lucroy, Trout was intentionally walked to load the bases. Ryan Buchter replaced Soria and walked Bour to force in a run. Simmons Chris Young Jersey , who was hitless in the opener Thursday, followed with a sharp single to right-center off Liam Hendriks to score Calhoun and Trout.“I threw one quality strike,” Soria said. “One quality pitch. They’re going to make you pay if you don’t throw quality pitches. I threw just five pitches and I gave them four runs.”Trout hit a two-run double off Fernando Rodney in the ninth.Hansel Robles (1-0) retired three batters. Ty Buttrey pitched a scoreless eighth and Cody Allen worked the ninth.Estrada allowed two hits over six innings, struck out three and walked two.MORALES MAKES A’S DEBUTKendrys Morales walked and singled in four plate appearances in his first game with the A’s since being acquired from Toronto on Wednesday. Morales gives Oakland manager Bob Melvin much-needed flexibility with his lineup after losing Gold Glove first baseman Matt Olson for at least a month due to a hand injury.PICKING UP THE HARDWAREMelvin was presented with his manager of the year award during a pregame ceremony. Third baseman Matt Chapman and Olson received their Gold Gloves, while Davis was given a trophy for being the majors’ top designated hitter.TRAINER’S ROOMAngels: OF Justin Upton will miss eight to 12 weeks after being diagnosed with turf toe in his left foot. Upton was injured after running into the outfield wall chasing a flyball Sunday during an exhibition game. The Angels placed Upton on the injured list Thursday with hopes of a quick return. “It’s certainly not ideal,” Ausmus said.UP NEXTLHP Brett Anderson makes his first start of the season for Oakland on Saturday night while Los Angeles counters with RHP Felix Pena. Anderson is coming off a strong spring when he had a 2.87 ERA. Pena was 3-5 in 2018.__ Despite a surge of write-in votes for Daniel Descalso (I know who THOSE were from...), Corbin went out of Arizona on a high."There were at least two points in Patrick Corbin’s career where him winning this award for the second time seemed very unlikely. The first was at the beginning of the 2014 season. Our reigning Pitcher of the Year was robbed of a chance to be our Opening Day starter in the Sydney series, by an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery. Coming back from that is always a roll of the dice, but Corbin recovered and took the mound for the second half of the 2015 season. But his campaign the following year was terrible, and in mid-August, with an almost Shelby Miller-like ERA of 5.58, Corbin was moved to the bullpen. We’ve seen pitchers go that way and never come back e.g. Archie Bradley and Daniel Hudson, so there was legitimate concern we’d seen the last of Patrick as a starter. However, Corbin was returned to the rotation in 2017 and provided a solid season, posting a 4.03 ERA, and not missing a start. That set the table for his final year before free-agency, and a thoroughly motivated pitcher came out of the gates firing. With Zack Greinke’s groin tightness keeping him out for a few days, Patrick finally achieved the Opening Day start for Arizona he had been denied four years previously Cam Bedrosian Jersey , and got the W in an 8-2 victory over Colorado, throwing 5.2 innings of two-run ball. Much better was to come, however, as he went undefeated in his first eight starts. He blanked the Dodgers for 7.1 innings of one-hit ball on April 4, then one-hit San Francisco 13 days later, our Performance of the Year.That was just the best of many very good performances from Corbin. He had two games where he struck out a dozen opposing batters, walking one and zero hitters. That made him the first Arizona pitcher with multiple games like that (12+ Ks, 0/1 BB) in a season since Randy Johnson in 2004. His 12 strikeout, no walk outing on June 22 in Pittsburgh was also only the second such since then (Robbie Ray had the other, in 2017). When Patrick had his slider working, he was almost unstoppable: across the nine games where he had 9+ strikeouts, he allowed only 37 hits in 59 innings, with a staggering K:BB ratio of 90:7, with a WHIP of 0.75.It was an especially remarkable performance, considering there were concerns about his diminished velocity in May, leading to articles with headlines like The Diamondbacks Could Have a Patrick Corbin Problem. His four-seam fastball averaged 92.8 mph in 2017, but against the Dodgers on May 3, was only 89.7 mph. While both pitcher and team professed no great degree of worry about the suddenly missing mph http://www.angelsfanproshop.com/authentic-zack-cozart-jersey , the Diamondbacks were bothered enough to have Corbin skip bullpen sessions between starts. The velocity did eventually return, but took its time about it, Patrick not averaging 92 mph again until September. However, you’d be hard pushed to say that he missed it. A key factor this year was his ability to get out right-handed batters. Look at the difference in his split against them, comparing last season to this:2017 vs. RHB: .292/.348/.482 = .830 OPS, K:BB = 2.412018 vs. RHB: .213/.259/.324 = .583 OPS, K:BB = 5.67Right handed-batters hit almost two hundred and fifty points worse against Corbin last year, and struck out in 30% of the plate-appearances. You’ll know why, if you watched one of his starts. You would have seen him deliver a Big Unit-esque slider, diving in to the ankles of right-handed batters.It wasn’t nearly as hard as Randy Johnson’s 98-mph “Mr. Snappy”, averaging only 91.3 mph. But it was particularly effective when combined with a slower version - classified by Pitch f/X as a curve, coming in at 72.8 mph. He used this a lot in fastball counts, either to get back into the count or get ahead. And he did so regularly, getting strike one a career-high 64.2% of the time, which put him the driver’s seat. After that first strike, batters were held to the tune of .191/.239/.287. Few pitchers generated less contact than Corbin: at 25.7%, his swinging strike rate was the highest of any qualifying pitcher in the majors, and the overall contact rate of 65.3% trailed only Chris Sale (65.0%). The resulting strikeout rate of 11.1 per nine innings was more than 30% up on the 2017 figure Blake Parker Jersey , which was already a career high for Patrick to that point. He became one of only fourteen qualifying pitchers in baseball history with a season where their K-rate was better than 11 and their K:BB ratio was above 5. [Though in a startling testament to the rise of the K in recent times, nine of those have come over just the last four years, with Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling and Pedro Martinez the only men to have done it prior to 2014] His All-Star selection in July - the second for Corbin, following on from 2013 - was testament to that, as was his fifth-place finish in Cy Young voting. He was a free-agent this winter, and got what is to this point, far and away, the biggest contract of the off-season. Corbin signed a six-year deal with the Washington Nationals, worth $140 million - that’s more than twice the next-highest in total value, the four-year, $68 million deal inked by Nathan Eovaldi with Boston. His departure undeniably leaves a big hole in the Diamondbacks rotation for 2019 that will be hard to fill. He leaves Arizona fourth on the all-time franchise list for wins (56), third for strikeouts (897), and seventh for pitching WAR (11.4). His 246 K’s last season were the most by any non-Johnson/Schilling player, and the highest figure for Arizona since 2004. The ‘Pittie for Best Pitcher was well deserved.
