The LA Angels have not had the best starting rotation this year. One of the worst parts of the week was watching Ricky Nolasco trot out only to give up a couple long balls and take the loss. It seemed like he would never get out of the rut.
Going into this week, Nolasco had a 5.23 ERA that he earned mostly due to his MLB-worst 23 home runs. With a 2-9 record and a .293 opposition batting average, Nolasco may have lost his spot in the rotation is Garrett Richards and/or Tyler Skaggs were healthy.
