Friday, May 07, 2004Rundown: Streaks editionAaron Sele put in a so-so performance, but that was all that was required in the Angel's 7-3 triumph over Tampa Bay. The win was the Halo's sixth in a row. Sele showed signs that he could be an effective 5th starter (he's still got that devastating curveball), but his control was lacking and he was hit hard throughout. The jury's still out on this one. Sele had to be worried when watching Scot Shields put up three perfect innings on his way to his second save of the year. Troy Glaus couldn't keep his homerun streak alive, but not for lack of trying. He was taking some massive hacks out there tonight. It looked like vintage Troy- hands out in front, hips flying open, head whipping around, and ball in catcher's glove. Don't get me wrong- I enjoyed the breeze! Jose Guillen had better luck with his streak, as he hit a no-doubter in the fifth. It's his third straight game with a homer. There is nobody hotter then Jose Guillen right now. Over the past week he's sporting a line of .480/.552/.920 with 3 HR, and 12 RBI. Yowza! Darin Erstad is currently riding a 14 game hit streak- the longest current streak in the AL. He's also had a streak of 8 games to start the season. In fact, he's hit safely in all but three games. And yet he still carries a disgraceful average of .268. That's hard to do. He's had exactly one hit in 20 of the Angel's 29 games. At least he's consistent. |
