<p>Tyler Chatwood, Hank Conger, Peter Bourjos, and Alexi Amarista are all products of the Angels' farm-system, and all had a hand in producing an Angels 8-3 win over Oakland Tuesday night in Anaheim. Conger, Bourjos, and Amarista -- batting 7, 8, and 9 in the Angels batting order -- combined to go 6 for eleven, while driving in 6 runs. The three also combined for 12 total bases, 6 coming on two Bourjos triples.</p>
<p>Chatwood (2-1, 3.86 ERA) won for the first time in Anaheim, but benefited by an Angels offense that pounded out 16 hits to give the rookie right-hander a 4-run cushion after 5 innings. Chatwood allowed 3 runs in 5.1 innings, giving up 5 hits and 4 walks. With the 4 walks tonight, Chatwood has now handed-out 16 base on balls over 23.1 innings in four starts. The Angels bullpen went 3.1 innings and allowed just 2 base runners.</p>
<p>Appearing in his first major league game, Amarista drove in the first two runs Angel runs on his first big-league swing. Amarista drove the third pitch thrown to him to the gap scoring Kendrick and Bourjos. He added a sacrifice fly in the 8th giving him 3 RBI in his first 3 major league at-bats.</p>
<p>Alberto Callaspo was the lone Angel to go hitless as Torii Hunter, Kendrick, and Bourjos each collected three hits, while Aybar and Conger pitched in two each.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.halosheaven.com/">Los Angeles Angels</a> will face the Oakland Athletic in the second game of their 3-game series Tuesday night in Anaheim. After taking the first game 5-0 behind <span>Jered Weaver</span>'s second consecutive complete-game victory, the Angels (13-10) look to rookie right-hander <span>Tyler Chatwood</span> to help salvage the home stand. With 4 straight loses to Boston prior to Monday's win, the Halos would like to return to their winning-ways while Chatwood (1-1, 3.50 ERA) would like his first home win.</p>
<p>In his last start, Chatwood went 6 innings against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.overthemonster.com/">Red Sox</a>, giving up 2 runs, but also issuing 5 walks. Facing the Angels will be right-hander <span>Brandon McCarthy</span> (1-1, 2.10 ERA). McCarthy pitched well enough to win his last start had he been given any run support, but ended up taking the 1-0 loss after going the distance in Seattle. In that game, he allowed just the one run on 4 hits, and striking out six.</p>
<p><b>Angel Hot Hitters:</b><br> <span>Peter Bourjos</span> - 10 for his last 24, 1 HR, 5 runs scored</p>
<p><b>Angel Cold Hitters:</b><br> <span>Mark Trumbo</span> - 1 for his last 20, .050<br> <span>Torii Hunter</span> - 2 for his last 19, .105</p>
