However, for the LA Angels and their fans, Chris Stratton left a lot to be desired. The Mariners’ lineup raked against the Boston Red Sox, but their rotation struggled and their bullpen is pathetic. It could have been a good start for the Stratton Era in Anaheim.
However, as we all know, Stratton struggled against the Mariners. The first inning was where the real damage was done, as he allowed four runs on four hits and one walk. As always, his pitches had solid movement. Nonetheless, he wasn’t efficient with them as only 57% of his pitches were strikes.
