MIKE FIERS NEWS

Earns third win Fiers (3-1) picked up the win Friday after holding the Angels to three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out three across 5.1 innings.

Impact Facing the Angels for the third time this season, Fiers finally notched the win. The right-hander started off strong, blanking the Halos until the fifth inning, when he gave up a leadoff double to David Fletcher, a walk to Tommy La Stella and an RBI single to Anthony Rendon. After hitting Anthony Benboom with a pitch and allowing a single to Andrelton Simmons in the sixth, Fiers was pulled to turn things over to J.B. Wendelken, who allowed both of his baserunners to score. The 35-year-old will carry an undesirable 5.81 ERA and 1.55 WHIP into a Wednesday matchup at Texas.

Lackluster in loss Fiers (1-1) took the loss against the Angels on Tuesday, pitching 3.2 innings and allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out two.

Impact Fiers escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first inning and appeared to settle down with back-to-back 1-2-3 innings in the next two frames, but the right-hander was lifted in a disastrous fourth inning in which he allowed all five of the runs scored against him. He did little to fool Angels hitters in the short start, inducing only four swinging strikes and allowing a season-high three home runs. Fiers will carry a 6.86 ERA into his next start, which is scheduled to take place at Arizona on Monday.

Earns first win Fiers (1-0) allowed four earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out two across six innings to earn the win Thursday against the Rangers.

Impact Fiers worked through the first four innings under little duress, allowing only one hit and one walk. However, he wore down as the start went along, surrendering one run in the fifth and sixth frames and two in the seventh. Fiers has not been particularly effective through three starts, striking out only five batters across 16 innings while racking up a 5.63 ERA. He'll look to get on track in his next outing, currently projected for Tuesday at the Angels.
