ANAHEIM -- Four months ago, the Orioles traded right-hander Parker Bridwell to the Angels in exchange for cash considerations. On Tuesday night, Bridwell helped defeat the team that cast him off by firing seven innings of one-run ball in the Angels' 3-2 victory over the Orioles at Angel Stadium.
Bridwell held the Orioles to six hits while walking none and striking out four, lowering his ERA to 3.00 over 11 appearances with the Angels this season. Though he had been relegated to the bullpen during his tenure with Baltimore, the 26-year-old rookie has flourished in a starting role for the Angels, who improved to 10-1 in games that Bridwell has pitched.
