Bailey Falter

Player News

Falter's middling arsenal doesn't really hold up very well against lineups like the Dodgers' starting nine. He also gave up seven runs to the Yankees earlier this season. He has a 3.28 ERA against the Marlins, Reds, Nationals and Angels, though. He'll face the Padres next.

Falter tossed two scoreless innings before Taylor Ward took him deep for a solo homer in the third. Three more hits and a sacrifice fly put two more runs on the board for the Angels in the fourth inning. Falter's day would be done after four frames. He struck out five on 65 pitches. The 27-year-old left-hander will take a 5.19 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and a 20/7 K/BB ratio across 26 innings into a start against the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Ward put the Angels on the board with a solo homer off Bailey Falter in the third inning for his sixth home run of the season. He later drew a walk. The 31-year-old outfielder is slashing .220/.258/.462 across 97 plate appearances. While Ward is waiting for the hits to fall, it's nice to at least have some power production.

Falter was removed from his start Tuesday against the Angels due to lower-back tightness.
