The Angels have a chance to do something they haven’t done in nine years.
Simply beat their “cross-town” rival in a three-game series at Dodger Stadium.
The Angels took two of three against the Dodgers in 2012 with relievers Jason Isringhausen and LaTroy Hawkins picking up the wins and both coming in the ninth inning.
Recent success has been not been consistent of late.
Last year the Angels were swept by the Dodgers in six games and 3-8 over their last 11 games, but the Angels hold the all-time series advantage, 73-62.
Not only are the Angels looking for Southern California bragging rights but to stay in contention in the AL Wild Card chase.
