It’s not uncommon to see a guy with Mayers’ name in the lineup, but what is it about the right-hander that makes the Angels turn to him? The Angels are on the verge of elimination after a 9-5 loss to the Dodgers on September 25. Fortunately for Mayers, manager Joe Maddon has been using him extensively this month. Mayers has pitched 18.2 innings in September, up from just 8.2 in August.
