HOUSTON — Although Joe Maddon had to tell Kenny Rosenberg that his first stint in the major leagues was over after one inning, the Angels’ manager still had a glowing report on the left-hander.
“I love his delivery,” Maddon said. “I love his poise. This guy has that thing that he thinks he belongs here already, which I love. He’s going to be very productive in the future.”
Rosenberg, 26, needed nearly six years to reach the big leagues after pitching in college at Cal State Northridge. When he finally got his chance to pitch an inning against the heart of the Houston Astros’ lineup on Monday night, it was a dream come true.
