Jerrod Washburn dominated the Royals with a 2 hit shutout.
Jarrod Washburn didn’t allow a hit until the 9th inning and shortstop David
Eckstein had 4 hits and 2 RBI at Edison Int’l Field where the Anaheim Angels
beat the Kansas City Royals by the score of 8 to 0.
Washburn(8-0) was virtually untouchable. He didn’t give up much, just 2 hits
and 3 walks in 9 innings lowering his ERA to 1.33. The left-handed Washburn
lost his no-hit bid when Carlos Beltran singled with one out in the 9th
inning. Anaheim totaled 11 hits on the night.
The losing pitcher was Darrell May(3-1). He was knocked around, surrendering
5 runs in 4 innings. When questioned about his counterpart after the game,
May was lavish in his praise, ‘It was obvious very early on that we were
going to be in for a long night. Washburn brought his ‘A’ game with him – he
had good stuff and was able to spot it perfectly. He probably only made one
or two bad pitches the entire game!

Quick Angels update as we now reach May 10, 2002 in my replay. The Angels are off to a 24-10 start and are currently on a 7 game win streak. These numbers are a little deceiving though. The Angels are combined 14-1 against the AL East and the AL Central, however they have only played the bottom feeders of those divisions and have yet to play any playoff contending type teams from those divisions. Their record vs. the AL West which outside of Texas are all playoff contenders is a little different as they are 10-9 vs. the AL West including a 2-5 record vs. Seattle.

Adam Kennedy is on fire! Adam Kennedy has come out of the gates en fuego. The Angels #9 hitters is slashing .371/.407/.600 with 5 home runs and 16 RBI, while playing solid defense at 2B. It’s unlikely he can sustain this but if the Angels can get this kind of production from the bottom of the order they will be in good shape.
Washburn a CY Young Candidate? If the Cy Young was going to be voted on in May then Jarrod Washburn would be one of the favorites. Washburn has been the true ace of the Halos staff early in the season. He’s currently 6-0 and is sporting a 1.43 ERA. His advanced stats are off the charts. He’s held left handed batters to just a .192 average and right handers have had it even tougher hitting just .188 off of him

What’s going on with Troy Glaus? The Angels young 3B Troy Glaus is really struggling to start the season, as .195/.329/.333 is not what the Angels were expecting from him. While he’s played outstanding defensively his lack of production at the plate (.662 OPS) has some wondering if the Angels will give him some time off to refocus on his game.

WEB GEMS- Top 4th: Darin Erstad robbed Vernon Wells of a Homerun!
Tim Salmon hit 2 doubles and had 3 RBI at Edison Int'l Field as the Anaheim
Angels beat the Toronto Blue Jays by the count of 7 to 1.
Anaheim drew first blood jumping out to an early lead in the first inning
plating 2 runs utilizing 3 base hits. David Eckstein led off and got things
going when he ripped a base-knock. Two outs later Salmon came to bat and
doubled. Troy Glaus then stroked a base-hit scoring two teammates. That
early run support was all that Aaron Sele(1-1) required. Anaheim ended up
with 13 hits for the game while Toronto had 9.
Esteban Loaiza(0-4) was the loser. He pitched 5 and 2/3 innings giving up 7
hits and 1 walk.
