The Los Angeles came up just short as they lost to the Los Angeles on Thursday night by the score of 4-3.  The Angels were out hit in the game by 10-7 and they just couldn’t get the big hit that they needed to do to either tie or take the lead.

Ervin Santana tossed six innings while giving up nine hits and all four Blue Jays runs.   The winning run for the Blue Jays came in the sixth inning when Santana gave up a solo home run to Lyle Overbay.  Santana is now 6-2 on the season.

Darren Oliver and Justin Speier both pitched scoreless inning for the Angels as they didn’t allow a run in the seventh or eighth innings.

The Angels got one rbi each from Maicer Izturis, Jeff Mathis, and Sean Rodriguez.  The veterans of the team were no where to be found tonight and that is why the Angels lost the game if you ask me.
