## Resource

After Sunday's Mother's Day win, the Los Angeles Angels returned to LOSING with a bullpen game gone wrong in a 7-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians. In this Locked On Angels Postcast, Gavin Carlson discusses Kurt Suzuki's decision to go with Brent Suter as the opener followed by Jose Fermin and Kirby Yates (who all struggled) before highlighting a really impressive performance from Alek Manoah and the offense wasting multiple RISP opportunities.
