Same story as Thursday, but with a different pitcher. The Angels got shut out for the second game in a row by Henderson Alvarez (above) of the Toronto Blue Jays, losing 4-0 to fall 10-17 in the season after the 4th consecutive shutout at Angel Stadium.
I've never heard of Alvarez, but it's no surprise to see a pitcher baffle the Angels offense this season. Over the past two games, the Angels have managed just 9 hits, and their defense hasn't been helping very much either.
Poor Ervin
Ervin Santana turned his second quality start in a row, but once again failed to get the win. Santana has given up the most home runs in Major League Baseball and is the owner of a 0-6 record (the first pitcher in franchise history to lose his first six starts, but its not entirely his fault.
In six starts this season, the Angels have provided Santana with only 3 runs for support, and that all came in the first game. The Angels have been shut out each time over the past five Santana starts. It is statistically impossible for a pitcher to receive a win when his own team can't score any runs, so you've got to have some sympathy for a guy who can't keep the baseball in the park.
Angels Offense
What's there to write here? They haven't done anything for the last two days.
