Guerrero had a three run home run in the fifth inning and then a rbi single in the sixth inning to lead the Angels.  Casey Kotchman finished with two rbi as he has a two run single in the sixth inning.  Gary Matthews Jr., Erick Aybar, Garret Anderson, and Mike Napoli all finished the game with one rbi each.

It was Nick Adenhart who picked up the win for the Angels after tossing 5 2/3 innings.  Adenhart gave up nine hits and four runs so he didn’t have his best stuff, but it was good enough to pick up his first win of the season.

Chris Bootcheck gave up two runs and Scot Shields gave up a run before Francisco Rodriguez came in to pick up the save in the ninth inning.  It was Rodriguez’s 15th save of the season.

Jered Weaver struggled on the mound as he tossed 3 1/3 innings and gave up ten hits and eight runs.  David DeJesus and Alex Gordon both took Weaver deep as they hit home runs as well.  Weaver fell to 2-5 on the season with the loss.

Chris Bootcheck pitched 2 2/3 innings in relief of Weaver and he allowed three hits and one run.  Darren O’Day was finally able to hold the Royals scoreless as he pitched the final two innings of the game.

Mike Napoli and Garrett Anderson both hit home runs for the Angels but it clearly wasn’t enough for the Angels to win the game.  Napoli had two rbi while Anderson and Vladimir Guerrero had one rbi in the game.  The Angels left 12 runners on base and struck out 10 times as well.

The Angels will have Thursday off before they start a three game series down in Tampa Bay.  Angels Blog

Dustin Moseley pitched two innings of relief and took the loss for the Angels.  Seven hits and five runs in didn’t quite get the job done lol.  Starting pitcher Nick Adenhart only lasted two innings as he gave up three hits and five runs.  Darren O’Day also struggled as he only recorded two outs while giving up four hits and four runs.  Chris Bootcheck gave up another un in his 3.1 innings of action.  As you can see, the Angels pitching straff dropped the ball in the game and they all pretty threw the ball poorly.

Erick Aybar hit his first home run of the season when he hit a three run home run in the second inning.  Mike Napoli also had a solo home run in the fourth inning.  Besides Aybar’s three RBI, Napoli’s two RBI,  Mike Brown had two RBI and Gary Matthews Jr. had one RBI.

The Angels usually win the game when they score eight runs, but not when your pitching staff gives up 15 runs like on Thursday night.  The Angels will now play a three game series against the Baltimore Orioles.

Starting pitcher Jon Garland tossed six innings but allowed ten hits and seven runs.  Garland walked three batters, struckout five, and also gave up two home runs.  Chris Bootcheck wasn’t much better out of the bullpen as he pitched .2 innings and gave up another seven earned runs on six hits and three walks.  Talk about a terribly job by Garland and Bottcheck.

Mike Napoli hit is sixth home run in the fifth inning to led the Angels at the plate.  The Angels only other RBI in the came in the second inning when Robb Quinlan had a RBI single.  Up and down the lineup, the Angels struggled at the plate.
