Mitch Farris Pitches Angels Past Royals in Major-League Debut

Mitch Farris, 24, earned his first MLB win after pitching five innings with three strikeouts, helping the Angels improve to 65-73 this season.

  • In his first major league appearance, Mitch Farris earned the victory as the Los Angeles Angels beat the Kansas City Royals 5-1 on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, in Kansas City, Missouri.
  • Farris, acquired from the Atlanta Braves during the offseason, started the game after the Angels expanded their roster and Mike Trout was scratched due to a skin infection.
  • Farris made his major league debut with a strong five-inning performance, giving up just a sacrifice fly, three singles, and issuing two walks while recording three strikeouts. Jo Adell then secured the Angels' lead in the sixth inning by launching a 454-foot two-run home run.
  • Adell collected three hits and contributed key runs, while Royals pitcher Michael Lorenzen gave up two runs and allowed four hits through six innings, with Kansas City limited to just four total hits.
  • With this victory, Farris became only the fourth pitcher in Angels history to make his major league debut as a starter in Kansas City; the team now looks ahead to a series against the Royals where promising rookies are expected to play a prominent role.
