Angels hold off Dodgers in wild endingBaseball Betting Lines06/24/2010 - Anaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Joel Pineiro allowed just one run in 7 1/3 frames, and the Los Angeles Angels continued to win at the expense of their cross-town rival with a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers. Pineiro (7-6) allowed just six hits and a walk while fanning five for the Angels, who have taken all five meetings with the Dodgers this season. The Halos made the most of their four hits, and Howie Kendrick notched his 28th RBI in a span of 26 games. Brian Fuentes picked up his 12th save of the season despite putting the first two batters on base in the ninth. The Dodgers looked to have the game-tying run in the final frame, but Russell Martin was thrown out at second trying to go back to the base before pinch-runner Reed Johnson could cross the plate on a Jamey Carroll single. Matt Kemp's RBI double provided the lone offense for the Dodgers, losers of six straight. Rafael Furcal returned after missing five games due to the death of his father and went 0-for-4 and committed two fielding errors, leading to an unearned run. John Ely (3-5) was victimized by the errors after yielding just two runs -- one earned -- on three hits and two walks in seven strong frames. He struck out six. Fuentes came in to save the game, and Kemp reached when Brandon Wood's throw to first was off-line. Ronnie Belliard followed with a pinch-hit single to put the tying run in scoring position. Casey Blake struck out, and the Dodgers' bad luck continued when Kemp was picked off at second base following an excellent move from Fuentes. It proved to be costly, as Martin drew a walk to move pinch-runner Johnson to second. Carroll came on to pinch-hit, and he lofted a bloop single to shallow left. Johnson rounded third to try to score the tying run, but Juan Rivera threw out Martin trying to go back to second for the final out. Johnson didn't score before the out was recorded, ending the game. The Dodgers, like they did on Tuesday, scored the game's opening run in the third inning. Andre Ethier reached on a one-out infield single, and Manny Ramirez followed with another base hit. After James Loney popped out, Kemp doubled to plate Ethier for a 1-0 lead. But as they also did on Tuesday, the Dodgers gave away their lead, as the Angels scored single runs in the fourth and fifth to move in front for good. Kevin Frandsen led off the fourth with a double, moved to third on a ground ball and scored on Furcal's fielding error. Mike Napoli doubled to start the fifth, went to third on a sacrifice and scored on Kendrick's groundout for a 2-1 advantage. That's all Pineiro and the Angels would need. Following the third inning, the Halos' starter set down the next 13 hitters to get through the seventh. He ended his outing with a walk to Ethier, but Kevin Jepsen came in and retired two consecutive batters to maintain the one-run lead. Game Notes The Dodgers fell to 2-9 in interleague play, losing their last nine such games...The Angels are 18-6 since losing first baseman Kendry Morales to a broken leg...This is the Dodgers' worst losing streak since losing six in a row from August 22-29, 2008...Ely has dropped his last four decisions...Pineiro appeared in his 300th major league game.
