Rays Stand No Chance Against Angels

Dean Chance became the 2nd pitcher in as many games to earn a shutout. Chance and the Los Angeles Angels held the Tampa Bay Rays scoreless on just 3 hits today in front of the home crowd at Angels Stadium. Chance retired the 1st 11 hitters he faced before Carlos Peña drew a walk in the 4th inning. While the Rays collected 3 singles, all 3 were erased by double plays. Meanwhile, Mike Trout hit a 2-run home run off David Price in the 2nd, and Troy Glaus hit a 2-run double the following inning. Overall, Price allowed 5 runs in 7 innings, walking 5 but striking out 8. Chance walked 1 and struck out 5. The Angels advance to face Cleveland tomorrow, while Tampa Bay will host Texas.
