Canning gives up three runs in the first, but he allows only one more over the next five innings. It didn’t matter, because the Angels didn’t hit and the bullpen imploded in an 11-1 loss to the Dia…
Angels starting pitcher Griffin Canning throws to the plate during the first inning of their game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night in Phoenix. And, somehow, he ended up as the star of the game for the Angels.
Arizona’s Christian Walker hit an inside fastball out for a three-run homer, one of the 30 pitches it took Canning to get the first three outs of the game. After that, Canning gave up just one more run – on another Walker homer – in five innings. Although it certainly didn’t look like that would be the story in the first inning, this was yet another game in which the Angels’ starting pitching has been the best part of the team.
“We tried to keep that game right there with the two best we had,” manager Ron Washington said. “It just didn’t work out.” After that, the Angels didn’t get another runner into scoring position until the fourth, when Mickey Moniak did manage a two-out RBI single.
