Angels News: Kenny Rosenberg Gets Disgusting Celebration for First MLB Win
Sunday was one of the better days in recent memory for the Los Angeles Angels organization. They got the win in front of their faithful fans, but pitcher Kenny Rosenberg got his first career win as well.
The Angels took the game from the Cleveland Guardians by a score of 2-1, but it was Rosenberg who stole the show afterward. The 28-year-old pitcher had his first beer shower but revealed that it was a little more than just beer. He seemed to have a pretty interesting celebration of his first victory.
“There were a little extracurriculars, not just beer,” the 28-year-old said after a brisk postgame cleanup. “A couple eggs, some ice water, all good stuff. It was a fun celebration. I had just as much adrenaline in there as I did out there [on the field].”
Rosenberg went five innings against Cleveland and allowed just one run. He did give up six hits but also struck out four batters. It was a solid showing for him in his third career start.
He was impressive, especially in the fifth inning when he squashed a potential rally by the Guardians. Rosenberg spoke about it after the game Sunday.
“Any time you get a strikeout to end the inning with runners in scoring position,” said Rosenberg, “when you know you’re kind of close to the end of your rope, 3-2 count, not even really a great pitch. … Nonetheless, when you get that positive result, there’s a lot of emotions and it just kind of climaxes there. I don't even know what I said.”
On the year, he is 1-1 and holds an ERA of 4.50. He will likely get a few more starts before the season is done, and this is his time to show what he can do.
If Rosenberg can build off the success from this weekend, maybe he will get a look for next year as well. This is his opportunity, and he needs to take full advantage of it.
