Spencer Howard gave up four runs in just 2 1/3 innings to pick up a loss to the Angels on Friday.
Howard was making his second start of the season. The first one went a lot better than this (4 2/3 IP, one run). The 27-year-old is a former Top 100 prospect who has bounced around organizations, and this was unfortunately an example of why. He gave up seven hits, walked four, and picked up just one strikeout. Howard could start again, but nothing has been scheduled just yet.
