Angels vs. Yankees

The Angels will head to New York for a 2-game series against the Yankees. Scott Kazmir was placed on the 15-day disabled list with "shoulder fatigue", so Sean O'Sullivan will get the start tonight against Phil Hughes.

Today's lineup for 7/20 against the Yankees:

1. Aybar, E, SS
2. Kendrick, H, 2B
3. Abreu, B, RF
4. Hunter, T, CF
5. Matsui, H, DH
6. Napoli, M, 1B
7. Rivera, J, LF
8. Izturis, M, 3B
9. Mathis, J, C

Nice to see Izturis back. Hopefully he can stay healthy and avoid the injury bug, because we could use his bat and presence on the field.

Three up, three down for Phil Hughes. Meanwhile, Texas jumps ahead of the Tigers 2-0 after one inning. Can we get some help here?

Swisher with the solo shot... 1-0 Yankees. Getting ready for a long night...

Well, after giving up the solo homerun to Swisher, O'Sullivan loaded the bases only to give up one more run. 2-0 Yankees. Headed to the top of the 2nd.

Texas update: 3-0 Rangers, bottom of the 2nd.

Wow, Angels base-running at its finest with that Hunter blunder.

Thatta baby Izturis. Welcome back! Single up the middle scores Napoli. 2-1 Yankees.

Wow, 2 great change-ups result in 2 strikeouts for O'Sullivan that inning. Let's keep this momentum going. 2-1 Yankees heading into Top of the 3rd.

Hunter makes up for his bad base-running with an RBI single. 2-2 tie game.

Leave it to Matsushi to blow a rally. At least the game is tied.

Three-up, three-down for O'Sullivan. Impressive three innings so far. Hopefully we can get another three solid innings out of him. 2-2

Two-run homerun by Maicer Izturis now! Production from the 3B position! Woo!

Post #13 » by **TyCobb** » Wed Jul 21, 2010 12:22 am

4-2 Angels, middle of the 4th.

Post #14 » by **TyCobb** » Wed Jul 21, 2010 12:29 am

Another 1-2-3 inning for O'Sullivan. He's retired the last 10 batters he's faced. Stella got her groove back or what?

Nice! Sully gets Jeter to ground into an inning ending double play! Five solid innings from O'Sullivan tonight. I have to admit that I am pleasantly surprised.

Post #16 » by **TyCobb** » Wed Jul 21, 2010 12:52 am

Napoli with the 2-run bomb! Woo!

Post #17 » by **TyCobb** » Wed Jul 21, 2010 1:04 am

6-2 Angels. Middle of the 6th.

Texas update: 4-0 Texas, Top 8th.

Post #18 » by **TyCobb** » Wed Jul 21, 2010 1:12 am

Another 1-2-3 inning from Cy Sullivan. He's at 85 pitches right now, but I'm not sure they bring him out for the 7th inning.

Post #19 » by **TyCobb** » Wed Jul 21, 2010 1:24 am

Abreu is garbage. No power, no more speed, sorry defense...he still knows how to take a walk, but it doesn't help when he tries to steal second base and gets thrown out by ten feet.

Matsui with a 2-run homerun...haha. Hell has officially frozen over.
