Angels' No. 9 prospect deals in DC, pitching into the 8th in 3rd career start

Washington, DC - The first two career starts were a struggle for rookie right-hander Jack Kochanowicz, as evidenced by his unsightly 14.14 ERA.

But Kochanowicz turned it around with a strong showing against the Nationals on Sunday, hurling 7 2/3 strong innings to pick up his first career win in the Angels' 6-4 victory at Nationals Park. Kochanowicz, who was called up from Double-A on Saturday to make the start because the Angels had a doubleheader on Wednesday that altered their rotation, allowed just two runs on six hits and a walk with two strikeouts. He was aiming for a shutout, but gave up a solo homer to Jacob Young to open the eighth. (excerpt of Rhett Bollinger article)
