ANAHEIM, Calif. — The book on Alex Meyer was pretty clear: big stuff, bigger control problems.
Not so much Wednesday night for the 6-foot-9 right-hander.
Meyer executed nearly to perfection while allowing a hit and a walk over seven innings and leading the Los Angeles Angels to a 7-0 victory that ended the Washington Nationals' six-game winning streak.
"We really didn't have much of a chance," Nationals manager Dusty Baker said. "Our reports were he didn't have very good command, but he did tonight."
Meyer (4-5) had a perfect game until he walked Anthony Rendon with two outs in the fifth.
