NEW YORK – David Huff didn’t exactly make the most of a good opportunity.
Huff, recalled to make a spot start in place of injured Nick Tropeano, gave up five runs in a 6-3 loss to the New York Yankees on Tuesday night.
With Tim Lincecum starting at least once more at Triple-A, the Angels will need another starter in the big leagues in this spot on Sunday.
Huff could have helped himself be in position to make that start with a good outing on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old journeyman from Huntington Beach was making his first appearance with the Angels, who signed him as a free agent last month.
