Oakland Athletics vs Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
3:35 PM ET, May 26, 2011
Angel Stadium of Anaheim, Anaheim, California
Another start and another chance at a milestone win for Joel Pineiro.
He tries again to get career win No. 100 Thursday as the Los Angeles Angels look to take three of four from the struggling Oakland Athletics.
Pineiro (2-0, 2.67 ERA) will make his third attempt at reaching the century mark, and pitching at Angel Stadium against Oakland (23-27) could provide the best chance for doing so.
Since joining the Angels (26-25) at the start of last season, Pineiro is 1-0 with a 0.56 ERA in two starts versus the A's in Anaheim. That included a four-hitter in a 4-0 victory May 16, 2010.
Pineiro, who missed much of the season's first month with a tight shoulder, didn't get a decision in the Angels' 5-4, 10-inning loss in Oakland on May 16.
Returning home to face Atlanta on Saturday, Pineiro has his poorest outing of the year, giving up four runs and 11 hits in 6 1/3 innings of the Angels' 5-4 loss in 12.
"It is just one of those days. You want to be out there as long as you can," he said.
