        HISTORICAL SERIES: During the Angels series at New York (A.L.) from   2024 PITCHING LEADERS
        Aug. 7-8, Zach Neto batted .538 (7/13) with two doubles, two HR and
        nine  RBI...He  joined  Prince Fielder (May 22-24,  2015 for Texas)  as the
        only visitors with 7+ hits and 9+ RBI in a three-game series at the new   WINS    10   Anderson
        Yankee Stadium...On Aug. 7, he matched the Angels record for RBI in a   GAMES    72    Strickland
        doubleheader with eight across the twinbill, highlighted by homers in   STARTS             31 (tie)   Canning &
        both games...With a career-high six RBI in the nightcap - including his first         Anderson
        career grand slam - became the first ever visiting shortstop with 6+ RBI in
        a game at (new or old) Yankee Stadium.        ERA - SP       3.81         Anderson
                                                      ERA - RP      3.31   Strickland
        DANA’S DEBUT: At 20 years, 259 days old during his MLB debut (Sept. 1   BAA - SP       .232   Anderson
        vs. Seattle), Angels top prospect Caden Dana became the youngest Halos
        pitcher since Francisco Rodriguez in 2002 and youngest starting pitcher   BAA - RP   .199   Contreras
        since Frank Tanana in 1973...With the winning decision he became the   INNINGS       179.1     Anderson
        youngest player to win his MLB debut in franchise history.  STRIKEOUTS  142  Anderson
        MATTY THAISS: On July 30 vs. Colorado, Matt Thaiss became the first   WHIP    1.29   Anderson
        player in Angels history with 5+ RBI and 2+ stolen bases in the same   SAVES     20   Estévez
        game…He was also the second catcher in Major League history with 5+
        RBI and 2+ SB in a game, joining Hall of Famer Mickey Cochrane for the Tigers on Aug. 9, 1934 vs. St. Louis Browns.
        THE ITALIAN: A native of Verona, Italy, Sam Aldegheri became the first pitcher born and raised in Italy to play in
        the Majors when he made his Major League debut with the Angels on Aug. 30 vs. Seattle...Overall, he was the fifth
        Italian-born MLB pitcher and first since Cleveland’s Marino Pieretti in 1950, but each of the previous four Italian-
        born pitchers moved to the United States in their childhoods.
        MULTI-HR DUO: Jo Adell and Mickey Moniak both hit two home runs on Aug. 31 vs. Seattle...It marked the first time
        the Angels had two players with multiple home runs in the same game since Aug. 19, 2017 vs. Baltimore (Mike Trout
        & Luis Valbuena) and the first time two Halos outfielders each had multi-HR games together since June 4, 2003 by
        Garret Anderson and Jeff DaVanon at Montreal (in Puerto Rico).
