<p>Two of the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.halosheaven.com/">Angels</a>’ youth movement homered Friday night, but it was the Halo’s Father Time who led the way in their 8-3 win over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.camdenchat.com/">Baltimore Orioles</a>. In the first game of their 3-game series in Anaheim, <span>Peter Bourjos</span> and just returned from Double-A Arkansas <span>Mike Trout</span> went deep to help the Angels win for the second night in a row, but <span>Torii Hunter</span> homered twice to show everyone the old guys can still swing a stick too.</p>
<p>Hunter’s first home run came in the Angels four-run first inning when he sent a <span>Jo-Jo Reyes</span> (6-10) pitch to deep left scoring <span>Alberto Callaspo</span> and <span>Howie Kendrick</span>. Kendrick had singled to score Peter Bourjos after the Angels’ centerfielder had doubled to leadoff the game. With the first inning homer, Hunter extended his hitting streak to 17 games.</p>
<p>Hunter homered again in the seventh, driving in Callaspo for his fourth and fifth <span class="caps">RBI</span> of the game.</p>
<p><span>Dan Haren</span> won for the seventh time in his last eight decisions by allowing three runs on nine hits over seven innings. Haren (13-6) struck out eight and walked none – this was the tenth time Haren has not allowed a walk in his start.</p>
<p>The Halo win allows them to keep pace with the AL West division leading <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.lonestarball.com/">Texas Rangers</a>. The Angels are 6 games behind after Texas won in Chicago by the score of 7-4.</p>

<p>The Angels are trying to stay in the division race and a big series against the Orioles would go a long way in getting the team on a hot streak. The big news of Mike Trout being re-called was already announced, though no one was sure of his spot in the batting order and the status of Vernon Wells. Both are in the lineup tonight.</p>
<p>CF - Bourjos <br>3B - Callaspo<br>2B - Kendrick<br>DH - Hunter<br>1B - Trumbo<br>LF - Wells<br>SS - Aybar<br>RF - Trout<br>C - Wilson</p>
<p>P - Haren</p>
<p>So the rookie starts his second stint in the Major Leagues batting seventh. Apparently Vernon Wells is good to play tonight, though the team did say other changes could be made in the coming days.</p>
<p>Haren will take on Jo-Jo Reyes and the AL-worst Orioles at 7:05. It should be a beautiful night at Angels Stadium.</p>

<p>Things were looking pretty gloomy for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.halosheaven.com/">Los Angeles Angels</a> in the ninth inning Thursday night, three outs away from four-game sweep by the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.lonestarball.com/">Texas Rangers</a> and an eight-game deficit in the American League West. <span>Mark Trumbo</span> provided a glimmer of hope with a walk-off home run, and the Angels hope their best prospect will provide more hope. <span>Mike Trout</span> is on his way back to the Angels, according to Trout's brother Tyler.</p>↵<p align="center">↵<style type="text/css">.bbpBox104535820769312768 {background:url(http://a0.twimg.com/profile_background_images/218232484/xaa2766337d4925c671b4aa0e3f178f0.png) #F8F9FA;padding:20px;} p.bbpTweet{background:#fff;padding:10px 12px 10px 12px;margin:0;min-height:48px;color:#000;font-size:18px !important;line-height:22px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px} p.bbpTweet span.metadata{display:block;width:100%;clear:both;margin-top:8px;padding-top:12px;height:40px;border-top:1px solid #fff;border-top:1px solid #e6e6e6} p.bbpTweet span.metadata span.author{line-height:19px} p.bbpTweet span.metadata span.author img{float:left;margin:0 7px 0 0px;width:38px;height:38px} p.bbpTweet a:hover{text-decoration:underline}p.bbpTweet span.timestamp{font-size:12px;display:block}</style>↵</p>↵<div class="bbpBox104535820769312768">↵<p class="bbpTweet">So the bro is finally heading back to Anaheim.

<p>The Angels host the the American League's worst road team for 3-game weekend series.</p> <p></p>
<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.camdenchat.com/">Baltimore Orioles</a> may have the worst record in the AL, but that doesn't mean the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.halosheaven.com/">Angels</a> should take them lightly. The last time these two teams met in Anaheim, the Orioles came away with a three game sweep last August 27-29. The Orioles and Angels played a 3-game set in Baltimore earlier this season which saw the Halos take 2 of three. Fortunately 2011 may play out differently for the Oriole/Angel matchup in 2011 as Baltimore has the league's worst road record (18-39), and have lost 20 of their last 25.</p>
<p><span>Dan Haren</span> will open the series for the Halos, hoping to build on their dramatic, 2-1 walkoff win over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.lonestarball.com/">Texas Rangers</a> Thursday night. Haren (12-6, 2.95 ERA) is 1-0 for the month of August, but has been as effective his last two outings, compiling a 3.32 ERA in 21.2 innings. In his last start Aug. 14<sup>th</sup> in Toronto, the right-hander allowed 3 runs on five hits over seven innings, striking out 5 and walking none. Maybe a home start will do the trick for Haren - in his last five home games he has gone 4-0 with a 2.41.</p>
<p>The Orioles will send <span>Jo-Jo Reyes</span> (6-9, 5.30 ERA) to the hill in place of <span>Jeremy Guthrie</span>, who is suffering shoulder soreness. Reyes recently joined the Oriole rotation after being claimed off of waiver from the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bluebirdbanter.com/">Toronto Blue Jays</a>. In two starts for the Orioles, Reyes has gone 1-1 with a 4.22 ERA.</p>
