Rookie hurlers face off in Anaheim
Baseball Betting Lines
07/04/2009 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will take to the field
this evening, as they host the Baltimore Orioles in the second matchup of a
three-game stint at Angel Stadium.
Sean O'Sullivan has been a solid fill in for an Angels rotation that has been
depleted by injuries. O'Sullivan has made three starts since being called up
to the majors, and in those outings he has complied a 2-0 mark with a 3.00
earned run average.
The last time the right-hander was on the hill he tossed six solid innings
against Texas, surrendering just two runs on six hits, while also striking out
five batters.
The Orioles will turn to their own rookie pitcher when they send Jason Berken
to the rubber. Berken won his season debut, but since then the right-hander
has lost five of his last six starts.
The last time Berken was on the hill he allowed four runs on eight hits in
five innings of work against Boston.
On Friday, Aubrey Huff went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, as Baltimore
hung on to edge the Angels, 6-4. Luke Scott stroked a two-run double for the
Orioles, who won for just the second time in their last six tries.
Nick Markakis went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI.
David Hernandez (2-2) lasted 6 2/3 innings, giving up three runs on six hits
with two strikeouts and two walks to collect his second win in his fourth
start in the majors. George Sherrill picked up his 18th save of the year.
"Impressive. He was throwing strikes and used all his pitches really well. He
commanded his fastball and showed great poise," Orioles manager David Trembley
said about Hernandez.
Kendry Morales belted a two-run homer for the Angels, who have dropped three
of their last four. Maicer Izturis went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI,
while Vladimir Guerrero drove in the other run for Los Angeles, which won,
5-2, in the opener of the series on Thursday.
Ervin Santana (1-4) went five frames, allowing six runs -- four earned -- on
eight hits with five strikeouts and three walks to take the loss for LA.
Santana was activated from the 15-day disabled list prior to the game.
"I felt good. My location was okay, but I made a few mistakes. My arm felt
good, but I just want to win," Santana said.
The Angels swept a two-game series from the Orioles at Camden Yards back in
April and went 6-3 against Baltimore last season. The O's are just 5-13 in
Anaheim since the start of the 2006 campaign.
