Skaggs (1-2) gave up four runs on six hits and two walks over just 3.1 innings in Wednesday's loss to Seattle. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty's now been smacked around for four runs twice by the Mariners, with a seven-run disaster in Cleveland sandwiched between. On paper, the 25-year-old Skaggs has it all -- talent, pedigree, minor league performance -- but he's never put it together in the majors on a consistent basis yet. The Tommy John surgery from which he recently returned certainly has something to do with that, of course. With nothing to play for, the Angels should give Skaggs plenty of opportunities to work through things down the stretch.
