ANAHEIM, Calif. — Lucas Giolito looked more like himself Monday night against the Angels, throwing six innings of two-run ball and striking out six.
Had he received a needed helping hand from his defense in the second inning, it could have been six scoreless and exiting with a 3-0 lead rather than 3-2. The lead quickly evaporated on Taylor Ward’s two-run double against Reynaldo Lopez in the seventh, and the Angels held on for a 4-3 victory.
