Angels fell to the San Francisco Giants in the Giants first return to Angel Stadium last night, but that wasn't the real story. Angels starter, Jerome Williams was rush to the hospital during the game after he had passed out in the Angels clubhouse.
Williams was admitted to UCI Medical Center after experiencing a shortness of breath following an uncharacteristically bad start in which he gave up 4 runs in only 3 1/3 innings. The start was only his second poor outing at Angels Stadium.
I could tell after the first inning that something wasn't right with Williams. He was wild and not staying on top of his pitches.
Last night his wife tweeted from the hospital that he was doing better, but she asked fans to keep him in their prayers. I sincerely hope Williams is okay and comes back strong. Even though he's one of the best baseball stories in recent years, Williams has to focus on his health above all else, and if that means taking an extended leave from the team, then so be it.
With Williams out, youngster Garrett Richards momentarily avoids being sent back to Triple A although I'm sure he wishes it wasn't under these circumstances.
Let's hope Williams can battle back and keep him in our thoughts and prayers.
