Naughton didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Padres after tossing five scoreless innings, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out five.
The five strikeouts were a season-high mark for the left-hander, who took a step forward in his second career MLB start after lasting just 3.2 frames in his first. Naughton has made five appearances for the Angels and owns an impressive 2.57 ERA across 14 innings, though his 9:7 K:BB could use some improvement.
