Atomic RoadRunners | Andrew Flynn’s High-Energy Fantasy Baseball

Angels 1B Mark Teixeira smacked a grand slam in Sunday’s 14-9 loss to the Yankees for his first homer as a member of his new team. He now has 21 homers on the year. Teixeira’s homer came in the eighth inning off reliever Edwar Ramirez and gave the Angels a 9-8 lead. However, the bullpen and defense imploded in the next inning, allowing the Yankees to take the lead and eventually win the game. Though it didn’t end up mattering today, Teixeira’s blast highlights just how big of an addition he was for the otherwise mediocre Angels’ offense. The thumping first baseman is an immediate game-changer in AL-only leagues who remains a must-start in Fantasy. (Rotoworld, CBS Sports)
