ARLINGTON, Texas — Tucker Davidson returned to the mound with a new look, and the results were encouraging.
Davidson didn’t walk a batter in five innings, the first time he’d done that in 16 career major league games. Davidson left with the Angels trailing by one run, but the Angels’ bullpen faltered late in a 7-2 loss to the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night. Davidson had walked 6.3 hitters per nine innings this season, contributing to his 6.96 ERA. He had thrown strikes with just 60% of pitches, below the major league average of about 63%.
The Angels had Davidson start with his lead shoulder already pointing toward home plate, as if he were pitching out of the stretch. He still took a small step back during the windup, but overall there was much less movement in his new delivery.
