Tyler Skaggs struggles again in Angels' 7-2 loss to Blue Jays

Tyler Skaggs’ slide since his superb return to the major leagues continued Tuesday at Rogers Centre. The 25-year-old left-hander finished only four innings and gave as many runs in his sixth start of 2016 as the Angels lost, 7-2, to Toronto.

Skaggs quickly allowed a first-inning run on a double, walk and single. Shortstop Andrelton Simmons then attempted to trick Toronto into a double play when Troy Tulowitzki lofted a baseball to him and the infield fly rule was called. Simmons let the ball drop in front of him, then watched it bounce into his face while the Blue Jays baserunners stayed put.
