McLean's Mound Showdown: Angels Faceoff

0:00On May 2nd, Nolan McLean heads back to the mound Saturday night against the Angels for his 7th start this season. He brings a 1-2 record with a sharp 2.55 earned run average into Angel Stadium. In his last outing against the Rockies, McLean gave up one earned run and one un-earned over 5 innings. He burned through 91 pitches to get there, matching his shortest start of the year. McLean's been a strikeout artist, fanning at least 7 batters in 5 of his 6 starts. That puts his 45 strikeouts tied for 9th in the majors. His team's been grinding hard lately, showing up early and pushing to turn things around. With just 14 big league starts total, this is uncharted territory for him. He's never faced the Angels or anyone on their current roster. Expect fireworks as McLean tests his stuff against the fresh lineup. Could be the spark his squad needs the heat up.
