Felix Pena Expected To Pitch After Opener
5 years agoLos Angeles Angels pitcher Felix Pena is expected to come in for multiple innings after the team uses an opener on Thursday against the Mariners. The team has deployed this method in five of Pena's last six appearances and the results have been promising. It is unclear who will pitch the first inning but Pena is posting a 2.82 ERA in the month of May with 21 strikeouts over his last 22 1/3 innings. Pena could serve as a solid back-end play on Thursday as a pitcher who won't rack up a ton of innings but is posting a 0.96 WHIP on the season. Pena allowed only two hits, both home runs, in five innings of work against the Mariners on April 19.
