Angels: Week ahead
Monday through Thursday: Red Sox at Boston
Friday through Sunday: Mariners at Seattle
This is the week for fans who voted thumbs down on the Angels off-season. John Lackey is scheduled to face Joel Pineiro in Boston on Wednesday, matching last year’s Angels ace against the veteran who replaced him in the starting rotation. Lackey is 2-1 with a 4.50 earned-run average for the Boston Red Sox; Pineiro is 2-3 with a 5.76 ERA for the Angels. In Seattle, the Angels and new third baseman Brandon Wood (.176 through Friday, one home run, two walks, 21 strikeouts, five errors) face the Mariners and old third baseman Chone Figgins (.200, no home runs, 17 walks, 24 strikeouts and two errors at his new position, second base).
