The Dodgers picked up three more hits than they did on Saturday night, but couldn't score. The Angels take the game 1-0 behind John Lackey and a late save by Francisco Rodriguez. The Angels closer helped a Dodgers runner to third with two out in the ninth with a wild pitch, but he induced a Loney ground out to end the game.

Lackey struck out nine and walked two for the win, while Lowe K'd seven in his seven innings of work, good enough to win most days.

Both teams should be a bit concerned with their offenses. The Dodgers have scored two runs of less in five of their last eight games, and the Angels have scored one run in their last three games. I suspect both clubs will look for a hitter at the trade deadline.
