Manager Ron Washington says Soriano was gassed after 90 pitches on Tuesday, and that he is learning about the work between starts necessary to build up more endurance on the mound.
Angels pitcher Jose Soriano throws to the plate during the first inning of their game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night in St. Petersburg, Fla. Soriano gave up one run and one hit in five innings, striking out six and walking five in the 13-inning loss. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — José Soriano took another step along what the Angels hope is the path to being a frontline major league starter.Soriano gave up one run and one hit in five innings, striking out six and walking five.
Washington paid a visit to Soriano with two outs in the fifth, after he issued a walk to the No. 9 hitter on his 79th pitch. Soriano then walked leadoff man Yandy Diaz before coming back to strike out Randy Arozarena to end his night. Soriano regularly hit 100 mph with his fastball. Combined with his slider and knuckle curve, Soriano has a repertoire the Angels wanted to see as a starter. One of the reasons they had him begin the year as a major league reliever, was to mange his innings. Now that Chase Silseth’s injury forced Soriano into the rotation in April, the Angels might face a decision at some point on whether to slow down Soriano.
