Colon struggles early, Angels lose

Starter Bartolo Colon gave up a 3-run homerun to Mike Sweeney in the first, and Kansas City made the lead stick, winning by a final of 3-2. Colon allowed a total of 7 hits, but did strikeout 5 in his 4 innings of work. Sheilds, Percival, Webber, and Turnbow kept the Royals off the board for the rest of the game. The Angels offence was unable to capitalize on the solid pitching, going hitless until a 6th inning Eckstein single. He later scored on an error. Anaheim's second run came in the 7th on a Jose Guillen homerun, his 5th of the spring.

The loss brings the Angels record to 9-11 this spring. The team has the day off tomorrow before hosting the Brewers on Tuesday.
