Canning (2-2) took the loss Tuesday as the Angels fell 4-2 to the A's, giving up four runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings while striking out eight.
The right-hander established a new high-water mark for strikeouts in his seventh big-league start, although he also set a new career high for hits allowed. Canning did generate 18 swinging strikes among his 102 pitches (63 total strikes), a promising sign for the 23-year-old. He'll take a 3.52 ERA and 42:10 K:BB through 38.1 innings into his next scheduled start, which will come Sunday against the Mariners.
