ANAHEIM, Calif. — Ricky Nolasco had extra days between starts to work on mechanical issues and it paid off.
He led the Los Angeles Angels to a 2-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Thursday night to earn the series sweep.
Nolasco didn't go into details of the adjustments, but they sure worked for him, keeping the Athletics off balance.
"They were good," Nolasco said of the time to make mechanical adjustments. "They were much-needed to get back on schedule. Go get them in Seattle."
Nolasco (2-2) threw 5 2/3 innings, allowing one run and three hits.
