Cedar Rapids pitches one-hitter
Jered Weaver allowed no hits on Saturday against the Dodgers and still got the loss, but the right-hander isn't worried about it. He instead is choosing to focus on the positives, like the fact that it was his second straight solid outing. He looks to make it three against the Jays on Friday.
Saunders wins AL-best 12th game
Even after going 2-for-4 and hitting the game-winning home run on Tuesday night, Angels outfielder Garret Anderson was out of the starting lineup on Wednesday for the third time in four games.
John Lackey was honored on Wednesday for a stellar June, in which he went 5-0 with a 1.16 ERA, earning the honor as the American League Pitcher of the Month.
The Halos have used 67 batting orders this year, and even though they took Tuesday's game vs. the A's, manager Mike Scioscia shows no signs of bucking the trend.
Garret Anderson crushed a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning Tuesday night, lifting the Angels to a come-from-behind 5-3 victory over the A's in front of 42,047 at Angel Stadium. The triumph gave the Angels a 4 1/2 game lead over Oakland in the American League West.
The final day of June traditionally has set Garret Anderson off on some July fireworks displays, a trend he hoped to continue starting on Tuesday night at Angel Stadium against the A's.
Right-hander Kelvim Escobar suffered a setback on Monday night in his road to recovery from a torn right labrum when he experienced shoulder pain after pitching three innings at Class A Rancho Cucamonga.
Lawrance Garcia wasn't sure if he should go with a karate outfit or an Angels uniform while dressing his Build-A-Bear, but he knew he would name it Spike. He decided to opt for the Angels' jersey, his favorite team, during his Build-A-Bear Workshop with umpire Hunter Wendelstadt as part of the BLUE for Kids program hosted at the Children's Hospital of Orange County on Tuesday.
With the way Joe Saunders and Ervin Santana are pitching, do you think both could be serious Cy Young Award candidates? With the Angels struggling with their hitting, why not give Juan Rivera a chance to play? Beat reporter Lyle Spencer answers these questions and more in this week's mailbag.
After posting a .256 batting average during the month of June, the Angels are hoping to reverse their fortunes, starting on Tuesday against the A's.

Francisco Rodriguez's MLB-best 32nd save preserved John Lackey's gem and enabled the Angels to avert an Interleague sweep. In the afterglow, Rodriguez admitted he'd never in seasons past have considered the changeup in such a game-turning predicament.
After scoring just one run in a three-game series against the Dodgers over the weekend, the Angels tinkered with their lineup yet again on Monday.
Interleague Play wasn't as kind to the Angels as it was last year, so the Halos are looking forward to playing American League opponents again. After going 14-4 against the National League last season, the Angels went 10-8 against NL foes this season.
Pitching once again was the name of the game Sunday at Dodger Stadium, where John Lackey outdueled Derek Lowe in an old-fashioned pitchers' duel to give the Angels a 1-0 victory and enable them to avoid a weekend sweep by the Dodgers.
Angels catcher Jeff Mathis made a critical throwing error on Saturday that led to the Dodgers' only run in the Halos' 1-0 loss in which they didn't allow a hit.
The Angels had their catalyst back at the top of the batting order for Sunday's Interleague series finale against the Dodgers, but Chone Figgins' return wasn't the only alteration on manager Mike Scioscia's lineup card.

John Lackey has reclaimed his role as the Angels' staff ace since a stint on the disabled list earlier in the season, compiling a 1.65 ERA and lasting at least seven innings in all eight of his starts.
Jered Weaver and Jose Arredondo combined to no-hit the Dodgers over eight innings, marking just the fifth time since 1900 a would-be no hitter came in a losing effort.

Jered Weaver and reliever Jose Arredondo combined for a no-hitter Saturday night in front of 55,784 Dodger Stadium fans, but the Dodgers, not the Angels, were celebrating a 1-0 victory in the afterglow.
