Former UCLA star Griffin Canning dominates latest outing

Former UCLA pitcher Griffin Canning was great in the latest win over the Dodgers.

It has been a tough season for former UCLA Baseball pitcher Griffin Canning and his Los Angeles Angels teammates. Canning is just 5-12 on the season, but his latest outing may have been his best of the 2024 season.

Canning threw 6.2 innings, allowing just 4 hits and a single run against the cross-town rival Dodgers. The right-hander struck out 7 batters and walked 4 in the 10-1 blowout win.

The win for the Angels was their third in the last four games.  Despite that, the Angels are in last place in the American League West with a 58-81 record. Canning will likely make an additional 3-4 starts before the 2024 season comes to an end.

The 28-year-old made his debut with the Angels back in 2019. The Mission Viejo native has a career 24-33 record, with an ERA just under 4.75. He was the winner of the Gold Glove Award in the American League during the 2020 season.

At UCLA, he went 7-4 in 17 starts, striking out 140 batters. Canning is a free agent following this season.
