  • Logan O’Hoppe goes 3-for-4 in loss to Angels
    Logan O’Hoppe went 3-for-4 against the Orioles on Monday to raise his average to .318.

    Advice: Angels manager Ron Washington actually had O’Hoppe hit cleanup once last week, but the catcher has been listed at sixth, eighth and seventh in the three games since. There’s good reason to think O’Hoppe will remain one of the Angels’ better hitters, but the lineup placement is holding him back, especially given how poorly the rest of the bottom of the order has hit.
