Sidelined by hamstring strain Guerra was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left hamstring strain.

Lit up in relief outing Guerra allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one over one-plus inning Thursday versus the White Sox.

Impact Angels starter Alex Cobb gave the team five scoreless frames, but Guerra followed by surrendering a run in the sixth. He came back out for the seventh inning and allowed three straight hitters to reach base before he was pulled. Guerra threw only 16 of 33 pitches for strikes and has issued 10 free passes over his past 11.2 innings. The right-hander has posted a troubling 6.06 ERA and 1.73 WHIP overall this season.

The 36-year-old still managed to post four strikeouts and wound up with the win after the Angels scored a run to retake the lead in the eighth. Guerra has three wins, two holds and a loss in 11 appearances this month but for the year owns a 5.95 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 58:41 K:BB over 62 innings.

Earns win despite rough outing Guerra (4-2) took the win against Baltimore on Tuesday, pitching 2.2 innings and allowing four runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out four.

Impact The Angels' offense produced five runs in the second inning, but starter Dylan Bundy struggled with his control and was pulled after retiring only four batters.

The right-hander has had a rough time this season, posting a 6.02 ERA and 1.71 WHIP across 58.1 innings. Over his past six appearances, Guerra has given up 13 earned runs in only 7.1 frames.
