Goodwin hits tiebreaking homer in Angels’ 4-3 win over Jays
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Griffin Canning and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. both made some of their earliest baseball memories up in the stands at Angel Stadium.
When the Angels right-hander and the Blue Jays slugger both stepped onto the Big A field as big leaguers for the first time Tuesday night, they created a few memories of their own before Brian Goodwin won it for the Halos.
Goodwin hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning, and Canning struck out six while pitching into the fifth inning of his major league debut in Los Angeles’ 4-3 victory over Toronto.
Canning got his first big league start in Guerrero’s first road game in the majors, and both touted prospects got plenty of love from the Angels crowd. The fans were aware of the significance of the moment, both because of these youngsters’ potential and their ties to Anaheim.
