Lackey, Angels aim to continue Chicago's struggles

ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) -- John Lackey will look for another stellar effort when he takes the mound for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim against the slumping Chicago White Sox on Saturday.

Despite getting very little run support, Lackey (4-2, 2.19 ERA) aims for his third straight win. The hard-throwing righthander allowed just one run and eight hits in 6 1/3 innings in a 3-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals last Monday.

He has allowed just two runs combined in his last two starts, carrying Anaheim, which has scored more than three runs just twice in Lackey's six outings.

In the series opener on Friday, Kelvim Escobar beat the White Sox for the second time in six days and Orlando Cabrera delivered a clutch hit as the Angels posted a 5-1 victory.

In the process, Escobar helped Angels manager Mike Scioscia record his club-record 626th win with Anaheim, passing Bill Rigney on the all-time list.

Chicago will counter with Jon Garland (0-2, 3.93), who will be looking for his first win of the season. In his last outing, the righthander allowed three runs and five hits in seven innings in a 3-0 loss to Anaheim last Saturday.

The White Sox have lost six of their last seven games, including five straight. Chicago lost two of three to Anaheim last weekend.
