The Los Angeles Angels look to rebound from Friday's shellacking at the hands of the Baltimore Orioles, sending Ervin Santana to the mound on Saturday at Camden Yards. Santana is seeking his sixth straight road win, a streak which began with a win in Baltimore on July 22. Zach Britton starts for the Orioles.
In the cherry-picking statistics department, Halos' center fielder Peter Bourjos is one triple away from becoming the first Angels player ever with 25 doubles, 10 triples, 10 home runs, and 20 stolen bases in the same season. Known for his amazing defense, Bourjos has provided unexpected offense for the Angels, hitting .270/.324/.436, with an adjusted OPS+ of 114. Bourjos is in center field batting second Saturday night in Baltimore.
Here are the starting lineups:
