Silseth – making a spot start after six weeks in Triple-A – strikes out 10 in 5⅔ innings, and the Angels support him with early two-run homers from Taylor Ward and Luis Rengifo in a 7-3 win.
ANAHEIM — Hours before the Angels’ 7-3 victory over the New York Yankees on Wednesday afternoon, Manager Phil Nevin described one of the reasons he remains so hopeful about this season.
The Angels then came out and finished off a sweep of the Yankees, their fourth victory in five games and their first sweep of the Yankees since July 2009. That could provide them an opportunity to build some momentum and make up some ground before next weekend’s series in Toronto. The Blue Jays are currently tied with the Astros for the final American League wild-card spot, leading the Angels by 4½ games.
Silseth gave up one run, on a Giancarlo Stanton homer, in 5⅔ innings, striking out 10 and walking two.Silseth induced 14 whiffs and he got 24 called strikes. That accounted for 44.7% of his pitches, the third-highest percentage for any Angels pitcher since tracking began in 2015. The only pitcher to exceed that was Shohei Ohtani, who did it twice last year.
