Petit, who fired 1.1 perfect innings during which he recorded a strikeout in a win over the Astros on Sunday, now has a five-appearance scoreless streak in which he's allowed just a single hit.
The strong stretch comes directly in the wake of one of Petit's poorest outings of the season, a Sept. 14 appearance versus the Royals during which he allowed four earned runs on four hits while retiring just one batter and taking his second loss. The rubber-armed veteran has once again logged a hefty workload this season, logging 76 outings entering Monday's action and already establishing a new career high in wins (eight), while also tallying 21 holds and his first pair of saves since his sole Angels campaign in 2017.
