Hunter, Angels open four-game set vs. Athletics

Apr 28, 2008 - 1:37 PM Oakland (16-10) at LA Angels (16-10) 10:05 pm EDT

ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) - Torii Hunter and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will kick off a four-game series Monday with the Oakland Athletics.

Torii Hunter drove in three runs Sunday to lead the Angels to a 6-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers. Hunter opened the scoring with an RBI triple in the fourth and added a two-run double in the sixth that extended the lead to 4-0.

A major offensive acquisition this offseason, Hunter is batting .305 with four home runs and 15 RBI this season.

Los Angeles will send righthander Jon Garland (3-2, 5.04 ERA) to the mound. Another one of the Angels' prize offseason additions, Garland is looking for his third consecutive win.

The 28-year-old Garland pitched six innings, giving up four runs and eight hits during Wednesday's 6-4 triumph over the Boston Red Sox.

He will be opposed by Chad Gaudin (2-1, 3.38), who tossed seven scoreless frames in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins. He allowed just four hits and struck out four.

The Athletics, who are currently tied with the Angels atop the American league West, are coming off a 4-2 win over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday. Oakland has won four of its previous five contests.
