Angels edge D-Rays; close in on AL West title Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Ervin Santana pitched 6 1/3 innings to help the
LA Angels of Anaheim to a 2-1 win and a three-game sweep of the Tampa Bay
Devil Rays at Angel Stadium.
Santana (7-13) gave up just one run on six hits with two walks and 10
strikeouts for the Angels, who reduced their magic number to three to clinch
the AL West.
"He threw the ball well today," said Angels catcher Jeff Mathis about Santana.
"He' gaining a lot of confidence and keeping the ball down. He was throwing
that slider good today."
Either pitcher would likely be an upgrade over Moseley, who went 1-2 with a 7.30 ERA in five starts. The Angels are yet to make a decision on their starter for Thursday.
Ervin Santana didn't move to 7-0 on Sunday, and he was lucky not to take a loss. He allowed three runs in the first inning and left after serving up nine hits and five runs over 5.2 frames. Santana walked one, struck out seven, and took a no-decision.
Dustin Moseley will make a five-inning rehab start at High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Monday, MLB.com confirms. He is on the DL due to a strained right forearm and could return in the coming week.
