Games Adds Beavan Over Run

Baseball Betting Lines

Over on the other side, San Diego starter Cory Luebke was awarded his second win of the campaign by giving up a mere two hits and also fanning seven over six innings of work. Seattle left-fielder Greg Halman accounted for both hits for his team on the night.

 

Mat Latos will step up and take the ball for the Padres in the series finale this afternoon. Already 0-1 this season versus Seattle and 1-1 for his career, Latos gained just enough run support on Monday to earn his fifth win of the campaign.

 

With Erik Bedard on the 15-day disabled list, the Mariners went searching for a starter for today's game and came up with Blake Beavan whom they called up from Triple-A Tacoma.

 

Despite the loss last night, Seattle is still just 3 1/2 games out of first place in the American League West and has managed to stay close to the pack despite being the lowest-scoring team in the AL with a total of just 283 runs through 83 games.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Winners in four of their last five outings, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim try to take two of three from the Dodgers for the second time in the last 10 days as they close out an interleague set with their National League counterparts at home. The Angels, who won two of three at Dodger Stadium last weekend, rebounded from a 5-0 shutout on Friday night by putting up a resounding 7-1 win versus the ailing Dodgers yesterday and by doing so closed to within a game of Texas for first place in the American League West.

 

"The guys came out and did a heck of a job tonight. Anytime you can get a six or seven run lead, it takes a lot of the pressure off you," said Weaver.

 

Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw was saddled with his fourth loss of the campaign as he permitted seven runs -- six earned -- on nine hits over six innings. Kershaw did manage to strike out 10 batters in the losing effort as well.

 

Anxious to get his season on track, right-hander Ervin Santana is set to take the ball for the Angels tonight in the series finale. Santana, who was a career-best 17-10 a season ago, has but three wins in 11 decisions in 2011.

 

The seven-year veteran failed to win a single game in the month of June and the Angels behind him dropped four of his five appearances overall. However, on Monday the team managed to pick up a 4-3 win against Washington at home as Santana permitted just two runs on five hits, while striking out five in eight innings of action.
