Sandoval (2-7) took the loss Friday against Cleveland, allowing eight runs on six hits and four walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out four.
Sandoval took a beating as he yielded a career-high three homers in the outing. The 27-year-old lefty also struggled with his command, issuing four walks for the first time since a seven-run, four-inning disaster in Cincinnati on April 20. Overall, the Angels starter sports a 5.60 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 57:24 K:BB in 54.2 innings. Sandoval gets no reprieve in his next start, which is currently scheduled to come at home against the scorching hot Yankees.
