Patrick Sandoval pitched six innings and allowed just one run Tuesday in the Angels’ 4-2 victory over the Padres.
He fanned seven. Unfortunately, Sandoval didn’t get the win, as the Angels didn’t take a lead until the bottom of the seventh. As unlucky as he’s been in the results department, Sandoval is at least fortunate that the Angels soured on Reid Detmers first. Sandoval doesn’t deserve to be 2-8 with a 5.00 ERA while his xERA, SIERA and FIP are all at least a run lower, but if the Angels believed in those kinds of numbers, Detmers would still be in the majors right now.
