Seattle at Anaheim

Apparently, I missed that this would be an early game.

Today's Matchup: Jamie Moyer (2-0, 2.50) vs. Kevin Gregg (1-0, 5.40)

Well, this is already looking bad. Gregg gave up two home runs in the first inning and the Angels are already down 4-0. Moyer is the type of slow fastball pitcher that kills the Angels hitters. Dallas is not starting, due to Moyer being a lefty (why not start him anyways?).

UPDATE: Well, Kevin Gregg stunk it up. My guess is that he will not spot start again this season. He gave up 5 runs in 2 and a third innings. The relievers pitched very well, and Bootcheck may be earning a permanent spot. Yan got into some trouble late in the game, loading the bases with 1 out, but he struck out the next two (they were the 3-4 hitters, no less). Meanwhile, on offense, the team may occasional forays into emulating what the Dodgers did earlier today (coming back from down 6-0, to win 8-6 in extra frames), but they failed, largely because they are hitting inconsistently...that is, except for Vlad.
