Angels Series Preview vs Toronto Blue Jays: Game details, Where to watch, Injury Report & Odds
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (27) runs during the MLB game against the San Diego Padres Friday April 17th, 2026 at Angel's Stadium in Anaheim, Calif.

The Angels silenced their offense to just six runs in the three games, despite losing two of those contests. Manager Kurt Suzuki took notice of it, and was impressed with Walbert Urena’s six clean innings in his first career start on Sunday. They have good reason to hope that same success on the mound will translate to their set with the Blue Jays.
