ANAHEIM, Calif. — Tucker Davidson’s greatest accomplishment on Sunday was that he was still pitching in the seventh inning.
It certainly didn’t seem as if he’d make it that far after he gave up five runs in the second, but Davidson righted himself and pitched efficiently enough to at least save the bullpen in the Angels’ 9-1 loss to the Houston Astros.
Otherwise, it was a disappointing performance from a pitcher trying to make a place for himself in the Angels’ future. The 26-year-old left-hander has a 6.39 ERA in five starts since the Angels picked him up from the Atlanta Braves in the Raisel Iglesias trade a month ago.
