The Los Angeles Angels fell behind early in the game and it took them until the 9th inning to get on the board but their two runs were just not enough to take home the win as they lost 4-2 to the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.  The loss put the Angels at 12-8 for the season.  Even though the Angels and A’s are tied in the American League West, the A’s are showing they want the spot with a 3 win streak.

Dustin Moseley got the day started off for the Angels with only four and two thirds innings pitched giving up eight hits and four runs.  Los Angeles brought in Darren O’Day, Chris Bootcheck, and Jason Bulger to take over the pitching but still couldn’t get their offense running well enough to take the win.

Gary Matthews Jr. picked up both RBI for the Angeles when he singled in the ninth inning.

If the Angels want to hold the number one spot for the American League West, they need to work hard because they are up against last year’s World Series winners the Red Sox in Boston starting on Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Anges fell behind early and they were never able to come back all the way against the Texas Rangers as they lost 11-6 on Friday night.  It was very poor pitching, and terrible hitting for the Angels that caused them to get down 11-0 before finally losing 11-6.

Dustin Moseley took the loss for the Angels as he pitched five innings giving up six hits and five earned runs.  Jason Bulger came in and gave up one earned run, but the Rangers blew it open when Rich Thompson came in and gave up another five earned runs.

The Angels offense didn’t do anything until the ninth inning when they finally decided to put the ball in play and score some runs.  The Angels pushed across six runs in the bottom of the ninth but it clearly wasn’t enough to get the victory.
