Angels starters compete for rotation spots after GM firing
Summary

The Los Angeles Angels are evaluating their young pitching talent following the firing of general manager Perry Minasian. Sam Aldegheri made a strong case for a rotation spot by allowing one run over five innings in a 4-1 victory against the Athletics. Aldegheri's performance comes after struggles earlier in the week, and he is competing with Ryan Johnson for a place in the rotation. Outfielder Josh Lowe hit his first career grand slam, and reliever Samy Natera secured his first save. Natera has been effective in high-leverage situations, posting a 0.96 ERA in his outings so far.
