Angels' Griffin Canning: Excels in bulk relief
Griffin Canning pitched six scoreless innings, giving up two hits and no walks while striking out six batters, in bulk relief against Toronto on Thursday.The Los Angeles Angels trailed 5-0 by the time Canning got the ball in the third inning, but the right-hander kept his club in the contest with six dominant scoreless frames. This was the first time Canning worked in any capacity other than a traditional starter this season, and he adapted well to the role in racking up 13 whiffs and throwing 54 of 74 pitches for strikes. It wouldn't be surprising if the Angels have Canning work behind an opener again in his next appearance given the results Thursday. He had been struggling with a 5.41 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across 133 frames prior to the superb outing against Toronto.
