Escobar puts unbeaten streak on line against A's

Jul 24, 2007 - 3:34 PM Oakland (47-52) at LA Angels (57-42) 10:05 pm EDT

ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) - The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim could use a strong start, and Kelvim Escobar is the right man to turn to.

Escobar (11-3, 2.85 ERA) takes the mound as the Angels face the Oakland Athletics in the second game of a three-game series on Tuesday.

Escobar, who is unbeaten in his last eight starts, and allowed three runs or less in seven of them, will look to pick up the slack after Bartolo Colon left in the first inning on Monday with irritation in his right elbow.

In his last start, Escobar allowed nine hits over 7 2/3 scoreless innings against Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Anaheim has been struggling lately, having lost four of its last five series, and fell 12-6 in the opener.

Mike Piazza, who returned from the disabled list on Friday, homered and drove in four runs. Mark Ellis added a pair of homers as A's won for just the second time in 13 games.

Lenny DiNardo (4-6, 2.51), who has just two wins in his last 10 starts, takes the mound for Oakland. DiNardo has pitched well recently allowing just two runs in his last 18 1/3 innings. On Wednesday the lefthander allowed just three hits in seven scoreless innings in a 6-0 over Texas.
