Angels vs Cardinals: Lefties & Firepower | St. Louis Cardinals News

The Angels are back home to face the Cardinals in a high-stakes three-game series opener, riding momentum after ending a four-game skid. Pitcher Jos Soriano, who previously shut down the Cardinals, takes the mound against Kyle Leahy — a Cardinals ace with a strong season and a history of stifling the Angels. Leahy’s weakness against left-handed bats could be key, as Angels’ sluggers like Nolan Schanuel, Mike Trout, and Zach Neto — who’s hot against St. Louis — could exploit it. With both starters in form and the series evenly poised, Soriano’s strikeout prowess and the Angels’ lefty power make them favorites to steal this one. Watch for Schanuel’s clutch hits and Soriano’s dominance on the mound. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
