Drew Pomeranz suffered the loss on Sunday as he pitched an inning and allowed three runs on two hits and two walks in the Angels' 9-7 setback to the Astros.
Fantasy Impact
Pomeranz pitched a perfect inning in the Angels' season opener on Thursday, but struggled on Sunday as he was called upon to try to preserve a 6-6 tie in the eighth inning. After a hit batter and an intentional walk, Isaac Paredes ripped a two-out, two-run double followed by an RBI double from Jose Altuve to account for the damage. Pomeranz pitched 57 games for the Cubs last season and posted a 2.17 ERA - after not pitching in a big league game since 2021. Despite the hiccup on Sunday, Pomeranz should still be a key member of the Angels' bullpen in 2026.
