Scioscia impressed by Ramirez, Gurka

ARLINGTON -- Justin Upton and Brandon Phillips weren't the only ones who made their Angels' debuts against the Rangers on Friday night.

Manager Mike Scioscia also got his first look at new relievers Jason Gurka and Noe Ramirez, who joined the Angels on Friday as part of the club's first wave of September callups and combined to toss 1 2/3 scoreless innings in the club's 10-9 loss at Globe Life Park.

Gurka, a 29-year-old left-hander, entered the game with one out in the fourth and surrendered a double to Nomar Mazara before retiring Carlos Gomez and Joey Gallo on lineouts to end the inning.
