Mike Trout is one of several Los Angeles Angels players unhappy about the team's start time for Thursday's series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Per The Athletic's Sam Blum, the Angels scheduled the start time for the latest possible moment for a getaway game allowed by the collective bargaining agreement at 6:29 p.m. PT.

The Angels' Friday game against the Twins has a 4:40 PT (6:40 CT) first pitch, while their Saturday game has an 11:10 a.m. PT (1:10 CT) first pitch. Per Blum, Los Angeles's management has a reputation around baseball for scheduling getaway games at inopportune times.

Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star Paul Skenes is a product of El Toro High School in Orange County, California. Now making a return to his hometown on the team's West Coast swing, Skenes was on the sidelines for Pittsburgh's 9-3 win at Angel Stadium.
