No good wood

Angels pitchers are 2-for-12 in interleague play with three more games this weekend against the Dodgers. Ervin Santana, Jered Weaver and Kelvim Escobar will each get in a couple of hacks, that is if they aren't driven from the games early.

While pitchers' hits are always hard to come by, Escobar has a conspiracy theory as to why it might be even harder. Scot Shields said pitchers are each sent three bats every year by the bat companies, but Escobar doesn't use his.

"I don't think they send good wood to the pitchers," said Escobar, who has one of the two hits.
