The Angels employed reliever Hansel Robles as an “opener” against the Seattle Mariners in an 8-6 win. It won't be the last time, although manager Brad Ausmus said 'you can't do it on a daily basis.'
Hansel Robles delivers a pitch during the first inning of the Angels' game against the Mariners on Sunday.
Ausmus said the opener will “definitely be used as a tactic again,” but he couldn’t predict how often. Ausmus, then a special assistant to general manager Billy Eppler, was in Angel Stadium last May 19-20 when the Rays, thin on starting pitching and heavy on effective relievers, used Sergio Romo as an opener for the first time.
