José Suarez gave up five homers in the first three innings as the Angels' late rally fell short in the 11-10 10th-inning loss to the Oakland Athletics.
in this homestand easy, putting the Angels in a 7-1 deficit they had to claw themselves out of. In the first three innings, he gave up five home runs. Suarez’s pitching did not affect the final outcome of the game. Jaime Barría allowed the A’s to tie and take the lead in the 9th and 10th innings, and the Angels went on to lose to the A’s 11-10 in the extra inning.
This season so far he has not been able to pick up where he had left off the 2022 season. Monday, he managed to pitch his deepest into a game, five full innings. He also gave up seven runs on eight hits, walked two batters, struck out five, and ended his night with an earned-run average of 10.26. The Angels would lose more than they would gain if they designated Suarez for assignment — Suarez is out of options. At just 25 years old and with the potential he has shown in the past, there is plausible belief another team would pick him up. But based on his performances of late, he does not seem, at least for now, a good trade candidate.
The Angels, unlike most MLB teams, need a six-person rotation, or at least a swing sixth pitcher that can slot into the rotation to ensure Shohei Ohtani can stick to his regular five days’ worth of rest — based on the schedule, the Angels don’t need a sixth starter every single turn through the rotation.
