Michael Lorenzen

Lorenzen (5-2) earned the win during Saturday's 5-3 victory over Oakland, allowing three hits and two walks with five strikeouts in six scoreless innings. Lorenzen shut down Oakland's offense for the second straight game, permitting just one runner past second base, and he required only 84 pitches to navigate the frames. The 30-year-old has now allowed one run or fewer in four of his seven starts and has lowered his ERA to 3.05. He's scheduled to take the mound again next weekend against Toronto.

To start the season, Michael Lorenzen had been a bit inconsistent for the LA Angels. Through five starts, he had three good ones but two bad ones. He posted a 4.13 ERA and 4.62 FIP through those first five starts. It was time for Lorenzen to find more consistency so...

Lorenzen (4-2) earned the win in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with three strikeouts in seven innings. Lorenzen was staked to an early lead and shut down Oakland's offense after surrendering a run in the first, retiring the final seven batters he faced. The 30-year-old has excelled during his first season in Los Angeles, as he's gone at least six innings in four of his six starts, though 14 of his 24 strikeouts have come in two games. He'll carry a 3.57 ERA and 1.10 WHIP into his next start, tentatively scheduled for a rematch against Oakland next weekend.

Last night, Los Angeles Angels starter Reid Detmers pitched a no-hitter. The Halos also have last year's American League MVP Shohei Ohtani in the starting rotation.

Michael Lorenzen came off to a blazing hot start for the LA Angels in his first season with this ballclub. In his first four starts with Anaheim, he went 3-1 while posting a 3.04 ERA and .212 BAA. In his fifth start this year, however, he gave up five earned runs in just 4.2 innings pitched. He gave up five hits.

Lorenzen (3-2) took the loss in a 7-3 defeat at the hands of the Nationals on Saturday, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in 4.2 innings. Lorenzen struggled Saturday in allowing runs in four of the five innings he appeared despite tying a season high with five strikeouts. The 30-year-old has been inconsistent with a 1.77 ERA in three wins compared to a 10.13 mark in eight innings during two losses. He'll look to get back on track against Oakland next weekend.

Mike Trout homers and scores three runs and Michael Lorenzen pitches into the ninth inning of a 6-5 win over the Chicago White Sox.

I was not a fan of the Michael Lorenzen signing by the LA Angels in the offseason. I knew they were bringing him in to start, and I knew that he had much better stats in the bullpen than out of the rotation in his career. Since they were going...

Lorenzen (3-1) allowed three runs on nine hits and two walks over 8.1 innings Sunday, striking out two and earning a win over the White Sox. While the final stat line doesn't look overly impressive, Lorenzen kept the White Sox off the board through eight innings and extended his scoreless streak to 14 frames. He was knocked out of the game after coughing up a two-run double to Leury Garcia and was charged with a third run when Garcia scored later in the inning. Lorenzen will carry a 3.04 ERA into his projected home start against the Nationals next weekend.

The LA Angels caught a lot of heat for signing Michael Lorenzen in the offseason over the likes of the pricy Justin Verlander's, Max Scherzer's, and Robbie Ray's of the world. I won't lie--I gave the Halos a lot of crap for the signing myself. I didn't mind the signing,...

Lorenzen (2-1) threw six scoreless innings against Cleveland on Monday, allowing three hits and four walks while striking out three to earn the win. Lorenzen had some control issues in the contest, as he threw only 49 of 93 pitches for strikes and issued a season-high four free passes. However, the right-hander worked around the walks by yielding only three hits and inducing two double plays. This was Lorenzen's second win and second quality start of the campaign, making him an intriguing pickup in fantasy leagues in which he isn't already rostered. The right-hander will carry a 2.93 ERA into his next start, which is scheduled to come in Chicago against the White Sox on Sunday.
