Angels' Packy Naughton: Suffers yet another loss

Naughton (0-4) allowed four runs on four hits and three walks over two innings as he took the loss against the Rangers on Tuesday.

Naughton managed to pitch out of a jam in the opening frame but was tagged for four runs on three hits and a pair of walks in the second and the Angels were never able to recover. Naughton had a 2.57 ERA over his first four outings for the big-league club but has now allowed exactly four runs in each of his last three starts while going just a total of 10.2 innings. The 25-year-old now owns a 6.35 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 12:14 K:BB over 22.2 innings. He has a shot to pitch again this weekend against Seattle but does not warrant any consideration in lineups.
