Angels lineup vs. Oakland Athletics: Dylan Bundy looks to bounce back

Dylan Bundy will attempt to rebound from his worst start of the season when the veteran right-hander takes the mound for the Angels in a 1 p.m. PDT game against the Oakland Athletics in Oakland on Sunday.

Bundy, acquired from the Baltimore Orioles over the winter, went 3-1 with a 1.57 ERA in his first four starts for his new team, striking out 35 and walking three in 28 2/3 innings.

But he struggled in Tuesday’s 8-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants, giving up four earned runs and four hits, including two homers, in four innings.
