体坛英语资讯：Los Angeles Angles pitcher killed in car crash

U.S. professional baseball team Los Angeles Angeles lost its starting pitcher Thursday after its player Nick Adenhart was killed in a car crash. Three persons including the 22-year-old Angeles pitcher were killed early Thursday when a minivan driven by an alleged drunk driver hit their car after running a red light in a Los Angeles suburb, authorities said.

Adenhart, who on Wednesday night started his team's game against the Oakland A's and pitched six shutout innings, was a passenger in a Mitsubishi Eclipse when the collision occurred, according to police.

Thursday night's game between Angels and Oakland was postponed. It was unclear when it might be rescheduled.

Mike Scioscia, manager of Los Angels Angeles, said his team would do its best to move forward from the death of Adenhart.

"We're going to cancel the game, but we'll have the team together this afternoon, and I can't tell you exactly what will happen because I don't think any of us know," Scioscia told a news conference in Anaheim, the team's base city since 1966 when it left Los Angeles.

The Angels signed Adenhart when he was just 18 years old, and he underwent major arm surgery before he ever threw a pitch.

Adenhart made his first Major League start last year against Oakland. At that time, he was the youngest active-roster pitcher in Major League Baseball, according to the Angels.

Adenhart's agent Scott Boras said the young pitcher's stellar performance in Wednesday night's game was a hint of the future he had in baseball.
