--The Angels have a season-high four-game winning streak after sweeping the Royals over the weekend. The two most recent victories came despite being out-hit -- 5-4 on Saturday (a 1-0 victory) and 10-5 on Sunday (a 4-3 victory). They are 3-11 this season in games when they have been out-hit by their opponent.
--RHP Anthony Ortega was optioned to Class AAA Salt Lake but will not replace him on the roster until before Tuesday's game against the Red Sox. With two complete games and an off day over the last five days, the bullpen has been able to recharge and they might go with an 11-man pitching staff for now. That would allow them to promote a third catcher from Class AAA Salt Lake and continue using C Mike Napoli at designated hitter.
--OF Bobby Abreu tied a club record with four walks in Sunday's game. But Abreu has gone hitless in his past 11 at-bats with just one hit in his past 19 at-bats. He has also failed to hit a home run in his first 29 games with the Angels. Twenty-nine of his 34 hits this season have been singles.
BY THE NUMBERS: 3.58 -- ERA of Angels' starting pitchers through Monday.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "I'm still me. I still play the game. I still know how to play center field. I still feel I'm one of the best center fielders in the game. That's not cocky. That's just confidence." -- Angels OF Torii Hunter, after a game-saving catch against the Royals on Sunday.
--RHP Kelvim Escobar (shoulder surgery) will move his rehab to the Angels' extended spring training camp in Arizona. He is expected to start pitching in camp games there this week.
--RHP Dustin Moseley (elbow irritation) will move his rehab to the Angels' extended spring training camp in Arizona. He is expected to start pitching in camp games there this week.
