Silseth struck out 12 and allowed two runs on four hits and a walk over seven innings in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to Seattle. He didn't factor into the decision.
Making his second straight turn through the rotation in place of Griffin Canning (calf), Silseth was outstanding, forcing a career-high 21 whiffs while also setting a new career high in strikeouts. He coughed up a pair of solo home runs, and the Angels offense went missing again, preventing him from claiming his third win in as many appearances. Over his last three starts, the 23-year-old righty has compiled an impressive 26:3 K:BB and 2.04 ERA through 17.2 innings. Though Canning isn't expected to be in line for a lengthy stay on the 15-day injured list, Silseth has probably performed too well of late for the playoff-hopeful Angels to remove him from the rotation. He's likely to pick up another start during the Angels' series in Houston this upcoming weekend.
