The Angels opened a series against the Padres with a 10-3 loss in San Diego where manager Phil Nevin played and grew close with the late Kevin Towers.
Nevin played several positions for the Padres at their old ballpark, Qualcomm Stadium, until 2003 and at Petco Park until 2005. In 2001, he earned his first All-Star Game selection.
He also made return visits to Petco Park as a third base coach for the San Francisco Giants and the New York Yankees.The Angels beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-2 on a day they had to place Brandon Drury on the injured list because of a shoulder bruise. “He’s just somebody that I really admired as a friend, for one, but a lot of baseball advice,” Nevin said of Towers. “I got three big people in my life that didn’t get to see the day I took over. ... KT would be at the top of that list.Nevin’s relationship with Towers during Nevin’s playing days has been described by some as volatile. But Nevin said he viewed it as brother-like, with their friendship growing after Nevin was traded during the 2005 season.
