ANGELS TONIGHT

Update -- Lackey was saddled with his third loss despite producing a quality start in his last outing, a 6 2/3-inning performance against Texas in which he gave up seven hits and three runs. The 25-year-old has had success against the Tigers in his fledgling career, going 2-0 with a 2.45 earned-run average. Cornejo, like Lackey, is trying to put a lackluster 2003 season behind him. But after finishing 6-17 with a 4.67 ERA last year, Cornejo’s ERA has soared over his first three starts.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
