BOSTON: Looking to bolster the majors worst pitching staff, the Los Angeles Angels acquired right-handed reliever Hunter Strickland from the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday for a player to be named or cash.
The 32-year-old Strickland has a 1.69 ERA in 16 innings with the Rays this season.
The Angels (16-21) entered the day with a majors worst 5.21 ERA and have lost three straight, sitting a season-low five games under .500.
Strickland owns a 16-16 record with a 3.14 ERA in his eight seasons in the big leagues.
