Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim vs Kansas City Royals
4:10 PM ET, May 30, 2011
Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri
The Los Angeles Angels aren't getting carried away after capturing a weekend series with two tight victories. They might be excited to see who is starting against them in their next series.
The Angels have beaten Kansas City Royals starter Luke Hochevar in his three previous starts against them and will face him again Monday in the opener of a three-game set at Kauffman Stadium.
Los Angeles (28-27) began this six-game trip with three one-run games in Minnesota. The Angels sandwiched 6-5 victories around Saturday's 1-0, 10-inning loss.
"We have to grow as a team," manager Mike Scioscia said. "We have a long way to go to get to where we want to be as a team, in this clubhouse and in this organization. Our club needs to get better."
The Angels should like their chances Monday against Hochevar (3-5, 4.81 ERA), who is 0-3 with an 8.27 ERA in their matchups. Erick Aybar is 4 for 9 against him and Bobby Abreu is 4 for 12, but Hochevar will get a break in not having to face an injured Howie Kendrick (hamstring), who is 5 for 8.
