Bass continues run vs. Angels : Padres starter Anthony Bass did not factor into the decision during Sunday's contest against the Angels. Bass, who was making his eighth start of the year, allowed two runs on five hits over six innings in the 3-2 win, including a RBI double off the bat of Mark Trumbo in the first inning. Mike Trout also added a solo homer in the fifth and Bass was pulled after throwing 97 pitches. He finished with six strikeouts and three walks, while earning the no-decision. (Updated 05/20/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Bass was not able walk away with a win on Sunday, but he did turn in another quality start for Fantasy owners. Since getting lit up for six runs against the Marlins back on May 4, Bass has allowed just four earned runs over his last three outings. He has posted a 1.83 ERA and racked up 17 strikeouts over that stretch and has been one of the more pleasant surprises in Fantasy during the early portion of the season. Bass will look to get back in the win column when he makes his next start, which is scheduled for Friday at New York. The right-hander is 1-2 with a 2.57 ERA in three road starts this season and can continue to be viewed as a viable option in deeper mixed formats heading into Fantasy Week 8 (May 21-27).
