After allowing 7 runs or more in the previous 4 games, Alex Young was summoned to stop the poor performances. Shockingly, the team was 2-2 during that stretch, with both of those wins coming against this Angels team and a series sweep on the line.
Alex Young has been a step below his performance last year, when he started 15 games with a 3.56 ERA (4.81 FIP). Part of that is due to starting the season in the bullpen and has really only started games since the middle of August as the team has stretched him out in-season.
