Jaime Barría pitched five solid innings, giving up two earned runs and three hits as the Angels take the series from the Chicago Cubs with a 6-2 win.
Initially a starter at the beginning of his Angels’ career, Barría moved to the bullpen last season. But in the middle of May, he was put into a swing starter-reliever role out of necessity because José Suarez was on the injured list.“I feel good. I’ve had confidence since the first time,” Barría said in Spanish after the game.
Barría pitched five innings, giving up two earned runs, three hits and one walk with three strikeouts in 76 pitches, 50 for strikes, as the Angels clinched the series.“Every one of our pitchers should focus in when he’s on the mound. It’s just impressive.” The Angels celebrated Pride night on Wednesday at Angel Stadium, which included a pageantry and an appearance by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
