Down 2-1 in the 8th inning the Halos offense exploded for 4 runs as the Angels completed a 4 game sweep with a 5-2 victory.

Newly acquired 3B Josh Fields made a splash in his first game as an Angel. Fields collected 3 hits and 2 RBI. Scott Kazmir got a no decision but gave a strong performance. Kazmir gave up 6 hits and 2 runs while striking out 6 and walking 1 in 7 innings of work. Fernando Rodney earned his 2nd win of the season by pitching a scoreless 8th. Brian Fuentes earned his 5th save of the young season.

Justin Verlander struck out 11 in 6 1/3 innings of work for his best start of the season for the Tigers. Joel Zumaya was saddled with his first loss of the season. Zumaya lasted just 2/3 of an innings while giving up 3 runs on 2 hits and a walk.

The win improved the Angels record to 10-7. The Angels next host the New York Yankees for a 3 game series. Joe Saunders (0-3, 7.64) and CC Sabathia (3-0, 1.09) will face off in the first game of the series.
