Ron Washington said Hunter Strickland refused to have a night off on Wednesday, which was no surprise to the Angels manager. Washington said Strickland and Carson Fulmer are two relievers “that I'll go in a foxhole with and die in that foxhole with them, because they never deny the baseball.” Strickland pitched the least of the four relievers who brought home the Angels' 7-2 victory over the Texas Rangers, but he was also the only one who had pitched the night before.
