Angels hoping to generate offense vs. Athletics

Jun 30, 2008 - 12:22 PM Oakland (44-37) at LA Angels (49-33) 10:05 pm EDT

ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) -- Vladimir Guerrero and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim look to get the offense going against the Oakland Athletics on Monday when they open a three-game series.

Guerrero has a hit in 17 of his last 18 games, but he managed just two hits this past weekend as the Angels managed just one run over their their three-game interleague series with the rival Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Angels even failed to win after combining for eight no-hit frames Saturday as a pair of throwing errors lifted the Dodgers to a 1-0 triumph. After getting blanked in two consecutive games, the Angels rebounded for a 1-0 victory on Sunday.

After struggling for the first two months of the season, Guerrero is batting over .400 with six home runs and 15 RBI during June.

With their offense slumping, the Angels have to face rookie Greg Smith (4-6, 3.69 ERA), who allowed four runs over 5 2/3 frames in Wednesday's 4-0 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Athletics are coming off an 11-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.

Anaheim starter Jon Garland (7-4, 4.05) surrendered three runs and six hits with four strikeouts over seven innings during Tuesday's 8-3 triumph over the Washington Nationals.
