ANAHEIM — Jaime Barria, Taylor Ward and Jared Walsh all continue to make statements that they want to be a part of the Angels future.
Barria pitched into the seventh inning and Ward and Walsh each drove in runs in the Angels’ 6-2 victory over the Texas Rangers on Friday night.
With the victory, the Angels (22-30) pulled within 3 1/2 games of the Houston Astros for a playoff spot, with eight games to go.
While the Angels’ youngsters gave a look at the future, Albert Pujols added another chapter to his historic career, blasting his 661st and 662nd homers to move past Willie Mays and alone into fifth on the all-time list.
Pujols, 40, needs another 34 homers to equal Alex Rodriguez, so it is likely Pujols has climbed his final rung on the sport’s most hallowed leaderboard.
As Pujols’ career winds down, the Angels are still searching for the young players who will help the team ascend once again, and three of them in particular have shown promise lately.
Barria made his fourth start of the season, to go with two lengthy mop-up relief appearances, and he’s now posted a 3.26 ERA. He did not allow a run until the seventh on Friday, and he finished allowing two runs in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out eight, equaling his career high, and did not walk a batter.
Barria, 24, seems to be recapturing some of what made him such a revelation in 2018, when he had a 3.41 ERA, before a disappointing 6.42 mark last year.
Desperate for starting pitching, the Angels obviously would love if he could at least provide dependable innings at the back of the rotation, joined by Dylan Bundy, Andrew Heaney and Griffin Canning.
Walsh and Ward have also done well at the plate lately, in small sample sizes, as they try to carve out roles for the future.
Walsh, 27, singled and walked and drove in a run. He did not score, ending his nine-game streak of at least one run and one RBI, a streak exceeded by four players in history.
Walsh has a 10-game hitting streak in which he’s hit 19 for 41 (.463).
Ward, 26, had two more hits also, including an RBI single to drive in the first run of the game. Ward has gone 14 for 26 (.538) in his last nine games, which he says is the result of a better mental approach.
The negative on the night for the Angels was Justin Upton leaving the game after he was hit in the head by a pitch in the seventh. Upton was face down on in the dirt for a few minutes, but he got up and walked off the field.
