The Los Angeles Angels are still in search of their first series win of the season, as they open a three-game set Friday night in Anaheim against the first-place Baltimore Orioles. Jerome Williams makes his second start of the year for the Halos, and will be opposed on the mound by Brian Matusz for Baltimore.
