BALTIMORE -- Three games into the season, Ron Washington has already taken some steps to steady the Los Angeles Angels.
First, it was a team meeting after a pair of lopsided losses. Then on Sunday, he went out to the mound at a key moment -- not to change pitchers but to help a reliever calm down during a jam.
Whatever the psychological impact of Washington's managing, the Angels finished their opening series with a 4-1 win over Baltimore. They avoided a sweep after dropping the first two games by a combined 24-7 and got the 71-year-old Washington his first managerial win since 2014 with Texas.
