Ricky Nolasco gets the nod for the Angels and he was solid in his last start giving up one earned run in seven innings only allowing two hits, but got little help in a 2-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. In three of his last four starts he has given up only one earned run, in his last outing, where he went 22 innings and he had one terrible outing in that span going one inning and giving up eight earned runs. The Angels have lost Nolsaco’s last two starts and 12 of his last 14 outings. However, in his last two home starts he has gone 16 innings and given up one earned run.
