• Angels' Patrick Sandoval: Fans nine but takes loss

  3H ago •

  Sandoval (3-3) took the loss against Houston on Saturday, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out nine batters. Sandoval had his swing-and-miss stuff working in the contest, as he racked up 18 whiffs and tied a season high with nine strikeouts. However, Houston got to him for five runs in the first two innings, creating a deficit that the Los Angeles offense couldn't overcome. To Sandoval's credit, he hung around for five frames and allowed only two hits over his final three innings, but the early damage resulted in his third loss of the campaign. This was the second time that the left-hander has allowed five earned runs in a game this season, but he's been good overall with a 3.09 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 74 strikeouts over 70 innings. His biggest issue has been walks -- his 4.1 BB/9 ranks in the bottom 10 percent among pitchers who have tossed at least 50 innings.

  7D ago •

  Sandoval allowed a run on eight hits and two walks with six strikeouts in five innings, taking a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday. Sandoval let the second batter of the game, Julio Rodriguez, hit a solo home run, and that accounted for all of the damage on the southpaw's line. The 25-year-old was able to pitch around the other nine baserunners, throwing 62 of 95 pitches for strikes in a solid outing. Sandoval's submitted four straight starts where he's allowed two or fewer runs, lowering his season ERA to 2.63. He's added a 1.37 WHIP and 65:30 K:BB across 65 innings in 12 starts. He's projected for a tougher road start versus the Astros next weekend.

• Angels' Patrick Sandoval: Rough outing Sunday

  05/30/2022 •

  Sandoval allowed six runs (five earned) on five hits and three walks with four strikeouts in three innings in a no-decision versus the Blue Jays on Sunday. Neither Sandoval nor Blue Jays starter Jose Berrios pitched past the third inning in this contest. Sandoval allowed a two-run double to Lourdes Gurriel in the second inning and then yielded four more runs in the third before turning the ball over the to bullpen. This was the southpaw's worst start of the year, but he can be given a pass -- he still has a solid 2.70 ERA despite a 1.27 WHIP and 42:20 K:BB through 43.1 innings in his eight appearances. He'll try to shake off this bad outing next weekend in Philadelphia.
