Astros manager A.J. Hinch caught up with Charlie Pallilo and talked about the hot start for the Angels, his strategy for using Ken Giles in the closer’s role, Gerrit Cole dominating, and the Astros’ early struggles swinging the bats. Hinch went on to say that he will continue to use Chris Devenski as a specialist in close games against left-handed hitters, including the ninth inning when many expect to see Ken Giles. Make sure you listen to this fantastic in-depth interview here.
