Raisel Iglesias Posting 12.46 Strikeout Rate

Los Angeles Angels closer Raisel Iglesias has struck out 24 hitters through his first 17 1/3 innings pitched this season.

Andrew Heaney To Start Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels starter Andrew Heaney will take the mound Tuesday to open up a series against the Rangers at Angel Stadium.

Dylan Bundy's Value Capsizing

Los Angeles Angels starter Dylan Bundy is still looking for his first win of the season heading into his start scheduled for this weekend.

Dylan Floro Saves His First Game

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Dylan Floro earned the first save of his career in Monday's 9-6 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
