Here is a tweet that originally came from Reddit user /u/ISeeWilMyersIUpvote. It is dedicated to the 5 out of 8 MLB Survivor Pool contestants who selected the Padres to lose this series to the Astros.

ANGELS 13 OAKLAND 9
One week into the season, the #Angels have already had to tap into their starting pitching depth. In RHP Parker Bridwell, who will start Friday night against the #Athletics, they have a valuable resource and insurance policy. https://t.co/KwQ9uklVMf

The above thought was not what happened tonight as Parker Bridwell only lasted 1 2/3 innings surrendering 7 hits (3 of them homers) and 6 runs. You know what did happen tonight that the Angels and MLB love to talk about?
Breaking out in a big way!
Shohei Ohtani is the first #Angels rookie to homer in each of his first three home games. pic.twitter.com/HO8GHPophq

Oh man, #Athletics CF Boog Powell just ran full speed, and I mean FULL speed, into the wall chasing a Justin Upton HR. The #Angels now lead the #Athletics, 12-9.

Here’s a picture of the impact Powell had with the wall:
He was going full speed too. That white dot is a 3-run go-ahead homer by Justin Upton. pic.twitter.com/BTdzDpXN7x
