Will we see Carlos Estevez’s Naruto run this year?
With about 65 games remaining for the Los Angeles Angels, it is still too early to guess if the Los Angeles Angels will make it to the playoffs. The first half of the season saw the team struggle to say the least. If the Angels want to make it to the playoffs they need to perform consistently and register more wins.
Estevez penned a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Angels this offseason to fill up the spot of their open closer. So far, till July 16, the player had been fulfilling and even surpassing all expectations that the team had of him, however, of late he has been making scoreless appearances.
However, he has experienced some inconsistency lately, emphasizing the need for him to deliver consistent performances to ensure his fans get to witness his special Naruto run celebration.
