Finding a grip proves elusive for Zach Plesac, Guardians pitchers in latest loss to Angels Plesac and Guardians relievers saw a dramatic shift in the efficiency of their slider against Los Angeles.

Roughed up by Angels Plesac (1-2) took the loss against the Angels on Wednesday, allowing seven runs (six earned) on seven hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out two.

Impact The right-hander had pitched well over his first three starts, allowing just three earned runs over 17.2 frames. However, he struggled to fool Angels batters Wednesday, notching only three swinging strikes and registering a season-low two punchouts. Los Angeles got to him for two first-inning runs and then posted four more in the second frame on a Taylor Ward grand slam. Plesac's ERA ballooned from 1.53 to 3.80 as a result of the poor outing, and he'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is expected to come at home against San Diego next week.

Earns first win Plesac (1-1) allowed two runs (one earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out three across 6.2 innings to earn the win Thursday against the White Sox.

Impact Plesac effectively pitched to contact, as he generated only nine swinging strikes across 85 pitches. The majority of the damage against him came in the fourth frame, when he surrendered two doubles and a walk to account for the only earned run he allowed. Plesac has maintained a 1.53 ERA across the first 17.2 frames of the season, largely on the basis of avoiding mistakes and giving up only 1.0 BB/9 and 1.0 HR/9.
