Angels catcher Chris Iannetta takes a big cut at the blues

Posted May 30, 2015
When the ball cleared the fence Thursday night at Angel Stadium, just to the left of the 390-foot mark in left-center field, it wasn't exactly a Michael Jordan "HE'S BACK!" moment. Except, perhaps, somewhere deep in Chris Iannetta's inner turmoil, it felt like one. It was a grand slam, a nice exclamation point to a night when the impotent Angels offense had broken through.
