What Happened

The Los Angeles Angels light up veteran pitcher Edwin Jackson for 7 runs in the middle innings of their game against the Toronto Blue Jays. In the bottom of the 3rd inning, the Angels' offense erupts against the 14-year MLB veteran. Facing the top of the Angels' lineup, Jackson struggles from the start. On the first pitch he sees, outfielder Justin Upton crushes a solo home run to right field, giving the Angels an early 1-0 lead. The next batter, outfielder Brandon Calhoun, also goes deep, extending the Angels' advantage to 2-1. The wheels then completely fall off for Jackson, as he walks the next three batters to load the bases with one out. Designated hitter Shohei Ohtani steps up and launches a three-run home run to left field, making it a 5-1 game. Catcher Max Stassi follows with another solo shot and suddenly the Angels are up 6-1. After a brief reprieve, the Angels continue their assault on Jackson in the 4th inning. Outfielder Mike Trout rips a two-run double, extending the lead to 8-1. Ohtani comes up again and hits another home run, his second of the inning, to make it a commanding 9-1 advantage for the Angels. By this point, Jackson appears completely deflated on the mound. Outfielder Justin Upton steps back up and battles through a long at-bat, eventually looping a bloop single to right field to cap the Angels' 7-run outburst. Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo emerges from the dugout and signals to the bullpen, mercifully removing Jackson from the game. As Jackson trudges off the mound, he mutters to himself, "I might have to just retire." The veteran pitcher has struggled mightily this season, entering the game with a 10.41 ERA. This disastrous outing only further cements his status as one of the worst pitchers in baseball in 2022. The Angels' powerful offense has proved to be too much for the struggling Jackson, as they now hold a commanding 9-1 lead over the Blue Jays in the middle innings. highlights the Angels' impressive ability to capitalize on a veteran pitcher's struggles and deliver a decisive blow to their opponent.
