Picks up first win Quijada (1-2) struck out all three batters he faced in his one inning of work, picking up the win in Wednesday's 7-2 victory over the Rangers.

Impact Quijada wasted no time mowing down Texas batters in the sixth, as he took advantage of facing the bottom of the Rangers' order and fired 13 of his 17 pitches for strikes. This win must have felt a little extra special for the southpaw, as the Angels were just 4-19 in games that Quijada pitched entering play.

Quijada has now given up multiple runs in two of his last four appearances and owns a 4.38 ERA across 12.1 innings (12 appearances) since the beginning of August.
