ANAHEIM -- Since joining the Angels' rotation full-time in June, Parker Bridwell has established himself as the club's most reliable starter. Entering Friday, the rookie right-hander had won five straight decisions, with the Halos going 11-1 in his starts this season.
Bridwell (aka "PBrid" for Players Weekend) delivered another strong outing Friday, but it wasn't enough to snap the Angels' losing skid, as their offense went quiet for a second straight night in a 2-1 loss to the Astros at Angel Stadium.
Bridwell dueled with Houston starter Collin McHugh for most of the evening, leaving little room for error.
