Wally Joyner’s first-inning bunt single was his only hit in five at-bats. His hitting streak is a major league-leading 15 games and he’s hitting .383, still tops in the majors. Joyner is 28 for 60 (.467) during the streak. On the road, he’s 32 for 72 (.444). . . . Scott Lewis, who has been struggling as the Angels’ fifth starter, said no one has suggested he might be taken out of the rotation. However, he said he wouldn’t object to working out of the bullpen, should it come to that. Lewis’ next scheduled start is Wednesday against the White Sox at Anaheim Stadium. “I have no qualms about relieving,” he said. “I’d rather start, but whatever they want is fine.” . . . Shortstop Dick Schofield had Sunday off to guard against further tightness in his left groin. Second baseman Luis Sojo also did not start; he had tightness in his hamstring. . . . Jack Howell (sprained right wrist) has been hitting off a tee in Anaheim. He’s eligible to come off the disabled list Tuesday.
