Adenhart makes debut as Angels aim for sweep of A's

May 1, 2008 - 1:22 PM Oakland (17-12) at LA Angels (18-11) 10:05 pm EDT

ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) - Nick Adenhart makes his first career start on Thursday as the Los Angels Angels of Anaheim conclude a four-game series with the Oakland Athletics.

Ervin Santana threw 6 2/3 scoreless innings and Casey Kotchman drove in three runs as the Angels rolled to a 6-1 victory on Wednesday.

Now Anaheim hands the ball to Adenhart, its top pitching prospect. Adenhart had his contract purchased on Wednesday from Class AAA Salt Lake, where the righthander went 4-0 with a 0.87 ERA in five starts.

The 21-year-old is making a start in place of the ineffective Dustin Moseley, who had been filling in for John Lackey - on the disabled list with a strained right triceps since March 21.

The move is a little risky since Adenhart will be pitching on just three days' rest after allowing one unearned run and three hits in eight innings on Sunday.

Adenhart will be opposed by Justin Duchscherer (1-1, 2.70), who allowed two runs and six hits in five innings of a 5-3 loss to Seattle on Saturday.

The A's have not scored an earned run since a 14-2 victory in the series opener on Monday.
