Angels seek series sweep of Tigers

May 28, 2008 - 12:58 PM Detroit (21-31) at LA Angels (32-22) 10:05 pm EDT

ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) - Joe Saunders takes the mound for the Los Angeles Angles of Anaheim in the finale of a three-game series against the slumping Detroit Tigers on Wednesday.

Saunders (8-1, 2.31 ERA) was outstanding in his last outing, allowing just one run and three hits during a 3-1 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday.

The lefthander is 4-0 at home and seeks his first career victory over the Tigers, who got three runs in 5 1/3 innings off Saunders in a 10-3 win here on July 28.

Armando Galarraga (3-2, 3.70) counters for Detroit, which has just eight hits over the first pair of games in the series. Galarraga has struggled with his control of late, walking 10 batters in his last two games.

The 26-year-old righthander was effective in his lone meeting against Anaheim this season, but did not get a decision after giving up three runs through six frames on April 26 at home.

The Tigers may continue to struggle as slugger Gary Sheffield was placed on the 15-day disabled list with an oblique strain on Tuesday.
