Angels-Athletics Preview (Yahoo Sports)

Seeking their first back-to-back wins, the visiting Angels hope to extend that success Monday night when they face the ace in the series opener against the Oakland Athletics. Yunel Escobar had two hits and Mike Trout drove in two runs in Sunday's 3-1 home win over Texas that snapped a two-game losing streak. The Angels (2-4), however, have gotten off to a slow start offensively with just 12 total runs, a .200 batting average and an AL-low eight extra-base hits.
