Angels 4, Dodgers 2

| | Comments (0) |

The Dodgers might be blazing new trails in the Cactus League, but one thing hasn't changed: they still can't beat the Angels. This one fell apart in the seventh inning, when Reggie Willits started a rally by dropping a bunt single on Chin-lung Hu, who had just entered the game for his first inning of the spring at 3B. Mike Napoli homered later in the inning, and Nathan Haynes singled home Kendry Morales, who had doubled. All that happened against Saito, but no one was concerned. It was just his fourth appearance of the spring, and he is slightly behind some of the other relievers. He also was next to unhittable his first two times out. ... D-Lowe looks like a guy who is ready for the season to start. He was perfect through three and held the Angels to a hit and a walk through five before running into trouble in the sixth, when he gave up a run on three hits. ... No one did much at the plate, but Tony Abreu had a spectacular game at second base, making three great plays in the span of four batters in the fourth and fifth innings. ... Kent was ``disappointed'' in how he felt when he tried to do some light running, manager Joe Torre said. He still got a few at-bats in the simulated game, but he is beginning to appear doubtful -- my words, no one else's -- for opening day. We'll see. ... Dodgers lose their second in a row and fall to 9-15-2 for the spring.
