Angels 1, Dodgers 0

The Dodgers struggled to mount any offense throughout the game before loading the bases with two outs in the 9th, they failed to score however, and were unable to complete the sweep against the Angels.

John Lackey got the win, he's 6-1. Derek Lowe took the loss, he's 5-8. Francisco Rodríguez picked up his 32nd save.

Derek Lowe pitched a good game, going seven innings, striking out seven, giving up a run on five hits and two walks. Brian Falkenborg pitched in his third game of the year, and pitched his third scoreless inning of the year. Cory Wade added a scoreless 9th to keep the Angels to just one run through the game.

The Dodgers, meanwhile, were shut down by the Angels pitchers. John Lackey held them to just two hits and a walk through the first eight innings. He came out in the ninth, and gave up a hit and a walk before being pulled for Francisco Rodríguez. Rodríguez walked Jeff Kent to load the bases with two outs in the 9th inning before getting James Loney to groundout to end the game.

A very interesting, low scoring series. The Dodgers outscored the Angels 7-1 in the three games but were only able to take two of three. And interestingly enough, the rotating door of Dodger injuries seems to still be in effect. As several Dodgers on the DL appear to be on their way back, Juan Pierre left the game in the 6th inning after stealing a base and having Erick Aybar land awkwardly on his left leg. He'll have an MRI tomorrow, but he looked pretty bad coming out of the game, limping heavily on the left leg. The Dodgers will travel to Houston to take on the Astros starting tomorrow at 5:05 L.A. time.
