Watch: Angels 3B gets booed after 0-for-20 start to season

After popping out in his next at-bat, Rendon finally helped out his OBP in his third plate appearance. He drew his first walk of the season on five pitches against Crawford in the bottom of the 5th.

Just one inning later, Rendon finally broke through with his first hit of the year. The Angels veteran hit a high chopper to third and beat the throw to first base.

Rendon’s hit received raucous applause that seemingly had sarcastic undertones.

The hit was Rendon’s first since July of last season.

The high-paid Angels slugger has drawn some criticism in the past over his polarizing admission on his view of baseball.

Perhaps Rendon should move baseball higher up on his list of priorities given how much he’s struggled at the plate so far this season.
