Paul Asay/Salt Lake Bees
Brandon Marsh has been an Angel since Los Angeles took him in the second round in 2016. He just felt a little bit more like one Friday night.
“Today, I felt free again,” he said, “and I just felt like they let my wings go.”
After missing a month with right shoulder inflammation, the top Angels prospect homered in his first at-bat and added a triple in his return to Triple-A Salt Lake during the Bees’ 10-7 win over Sacramento at Smith’s Ballpark.
Batting leadoff and playing designated hitter, the left-handed slugger made sure he proved the health of the shoulder by connecting on the third pitch he saw from River Cats right-handed starter Matt Frisbee and sending it over the fence in left field. Having gone up 2-0 in the count, Marsh admitted he was looking to get back to his old ways.
