Angels manager Mike Scioscia is trying something new with the Angels' lineup tonight. Torii Hunter, typically in the clean-up spot, will be batting second, while Bobby Abreu drops from third to clean-up. The last time Hunter started a game as the #2 hitter was 12 years ago while a member of the Minnesota Twins.
