- Ervin Santana: The 22-year-old Santana is the Angels' top right-handed pitching prospect. He was 5-1 with a 2.31 ERA in seven starts at Double-A Arkansas. The Angels don't think he'll have a problem skipping Triple-A ball. Santana is a power pitcher with a good fastball and slider.
Cleveland Indians
- All Games 16-21
- Home Games 5-10
- Past 7 Games 4-3
- Scott Elarton: Elarton, whom the Tribe skipped in his last outing, hasn't shown the consistency or pitch location that made him so effective at the end of last season. He's been hit hard, as his high ERA shows. Elarton, who has a poor history against the Angels, seems to improve the deeper he gets into a ballgame, but getting deep has been an issue.

- Dontrelle Willis: Off to the best start by a Marlin since Livan Hernandez started off 9-0 in 1997, Willis has been on an incredible run. The left-hander is maturing, and his sinker is yet another weapon in his pitch selection. The Dodgers, however, have given him trouble. In two career starts against L.A., Willis is 0-2 with a 15.43 ERA (12 runs in seven innings). Last year in a loss, he gave up five runs in five innings.

Los Angeles Angels vs Cleveland Indians 5-13
Angels catcher Bengie Molina knows there will be better days for Ervin Santana.
"The kid is going to be exciting to watch once he gets the feeling of the big leagues," said Molina. "He's got great stuff. He's going to be fun to watch. "
Santana's Major League debut was a rocky one Tuesday night in the Angels' 13-5 loss to the Indians. The right-hander, one of the Angels' top prospects, allowed six runs in four innings, including two-run homers to Ben Broussard and Travis Hafner.
Santana, 22, made the jump from Double-A Arkansas, where he was 5-1 with a 2.31 ERA in seven starts. He was taking injured Kelvim Escobar's turn in the rotation.
Santana struggled from the outset. He was behind 3-0 after the first four Indians batters hit for the cycle.
Following the game, Santana maintained he wasn't any more nervous than he would have been for a game at Arkansas.
"I was waiting for this day," he said.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia didn't think emotions were a factor either.
"I think it was anything but nerves," he said. "If anything, he was pumped up a little too much. Maybe he was overthrowing."
Santana allowed eight hits, walked three, hit a batter and struck out one. He threw 92 pitches. Scioscia said Santana will get another start, which likely will come next week against the White Sox.
"I'm looking forward to that," said Santana. "I'll keep doing my job like I was doing before. I'm ready for my next start."
Steve Finley singled in a run in the first inning for a short-lived Angels lead.
Grady Sizemore started the bottom half of the frame with a triple to right-center. He scored when Coco Crisp also hit the gap in right-center. It looked as if Crisp had a triple, but he was out when he overslid the bag and was tagged by Dallas McPherson. Crisp was credited with a double.
The brief reprieve didn't help Santana. Hafner singled and Broussard hammered a 2-0 pitch to right, putting the Angels in a 3-1 hole.
"Everything was in the middle of the plate in the first inning," said Santana. "I was too fast to the plate and it hurt me."
"His velocity was fine, but he wasn't hitting his spots," said Molina. "After the first inning, he started to relax and hit his spots."
Santana worked around a hit batter and a walk in the second. Garret Anderson's sacrifice fly in the third made it 3-2, but the Indians scored again in the third. Santana walked Casey Blake and Ronnie Belliard with two outs before Aaron Boone, batting .147, singled in a run.
It didn't get any better for Santana in the fourth. Crisp doubled with one out and Hafner followed with a homer to left on a 2-1 pitch.
Despite the loss, Scioscia found plenty of positives about Santana.
"He showed a live arm," said Scioscia. "He had some trouble hitting his spots. He settled down after the first. By the time he started to make good pitches, a lot of damage had been done."
Santana wasn't the only pitcher who struggled. Kevin Gregg allowed four runs in 1 2/3 innings while Esteban Yan gave up two more in one inning.
Scioscia gave credit to the Indians.
"They took it to us," he said. "They pressured us every inning. They beat us. We'll turn the page on this one."
The Angels added a run in the sixth on Molina's single, but Scott Sauerbeck struck out Darrin Erstad with the bases loaded to end the threat.
McPherson singled in a run in the seventh. Juan Rivera added an RBI single in the eighth.
Scott Elarton (1-2) allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings for his first win in seven starts this season.
San Francisco Giants vs Colorado Rockies 4-9
Baseball, as the old pros will tell you ad nauseum, is all about keeping an "even keel," maintaining a cerebral balance.
Don't get too high, don't get too low, a cliche right out of "Bull Durham."
Which brings us to the bizarre, enigmatic baseball saga of Giants pitcher Noah Lowry, the left-hander who in his rookie season of 2004 posted a 6-0 record over 20 appearances, a man who never had to explain to reporters what went wrong.
Lowry stuck to the mental game plan and never thought he could lick the world, always being grateful for his teammates' backing and feeling fortunate, not flawless.
Somehow, a second-year jinx -- another well-worn phrase -- hardly begins to explain his dramatic and dreadful turnaround.
Lowry won his first game of the year at Colorado on April 15, stretching his amazing non-losing streak to 16 starts -- second-best ever by a franchise starter -- and boosting his career mark to 7-0.
But on Tuesday night at Coors Field, the 24-year-old suffered his fifth straight defeat as the Rockies ousted him after only 3 2/3 innings in a 9-4 loss. Lowry's line included three homers and seven runs.
That'll certainly test your pysche.
"That's frustrating -- this whole stretch has been frustrating," said Lowry. "I'm more frustrated right now about us. The top of the fourth, we scored four runs. I gotta put up a zero [in the bottom half]. That killed our momentum. It was an uphill battle for the team and I went out and did my best, but didn't have it."
Lowry admitted he's never gone through a more difficult time in his career.
"It's definitely been the longest time for me without a win, and in my opinion, [I'm] not pitching the way I know I'm capable of pitching," said the lefty. "To go out and correct it is just a matter of trusting your stuff and not overthinking it, and staying relaxed out there."
Is one pitch the problem? Manager Felipe Alou said Lowry has good stuff, but has been wild.
"And 99 pitches over 3 2/3 innings?" said Alou. "That's a lot of room for errors. He has to cut [the number of pitches] down.
"We have to be patient. He has had innings when he's dominated, but he needs to come back like he was last year and earlier this year."
Lowry (1-5) gave up back-to-back home runs to Matt Holliday and Dustan Mohr in the second frame and a two-run blow by Todd Greene in the third.
It was the Giants' third straight loss and put them 2-3 on the current road trip.
Lance Niekro's two-run triple off winning pitcher Joe Kennedy (2-4) highlighted San Francisco's four-run fourth inning, while leadoff hitter Ray Durham contributed by going 3-for-5 with an RBI double. Niekro also finished 3-for-5 and drove in two.
To find the source of Lowry's problem, the pitcher said minor adjustments must be made, with consistency being the overriding factor.
"It's not mechanical," he said. "I tell you guys, I need to stay relaxed and not overthink it, but it's easier said than done sometimes. It's come to a point [when] it couldn't have gotten any worse.
"It's time to turn the page and let it go. I'm going to try to do that."
The game might have had a different ending if a promising sixth inning hadn't fizzled out.
Michael Tucker drew a walk to lead it off, then Durham rifled a hopper toward right field that Tucker had to leap to avoid. But first base umpire Laz Diaz ruled the ball clipped Tucker for an out.
First base coach Luis Pujols vehemently argued and was ejected, while Tucker asked other umpires to confer with Diaz, to no avail. When Alou saw Diaz throwing Pujols out, he went to another umpire for help.
"We want the call to be right," said Alou.
Tucker agreed it was a big play, especially after Omar Vizquel also singled, meaning -- OK, we're second-guessing here -- Tucker would have, might have, scored.
At worst, the Giants would've had the bases loaded with nobody out. Instead, there were two on with one out.
"It is what it is. He [the ump] thought he saw something and made the call," said Tucker. "You can argue it all you want, but you can't change it. It was a big inning for us. It's a judgment call."
Florida Marlins vs Los Angeles Dodgers 5-14
Any chances of the Marlins rallying to keep Dontrelle Willis unbeaten were erased by yet another late-innings landslide.
Bolstered by a five-RBI night from Olmedo Saenz and four more RBIs from Jeff Kent, the Dodgers broke open a one-run game and turned it into a 14-5 rout Tuesday night in front of 37,481 at Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers had a season high for runs scored and hits (19).
Carrying a perfect 7-0 record into Tuesday, Willis (7-1) was rocked for four runs in the first inning, with three earned. But the D-Train settled and finished with a quality start, working six innings with six strikeouts. His ERA rose from 1.08 to 1.45.
"Now we can let the guy be himself and not worry about going 15-0," manager Jack McKeon said. "It wasn't his night."
The Marlins can still take the series in Los Angeles with a win Wednesday afternoon as Josh Beckett makes the start against Jeff Weaver.
On the night Willis lost for the first time, White Sox right-hander Jon Garland improved to 8-0, becoming the first pitcher to reach eight victories.
"I hope he does well," Willis said of Garland. "That's great for baseball."
Willis was lifted with the Marlins trailing, 4-3, in the bottom of the seventh inning. The Marlins had chances to tie it in the top of the seventh when Alex Gonzalez reached on a bunt single and moved to second on Willis' sacrifice bunt. But lefty reliever Kelly Wunsch, who tossed a wild pitch that allowed Gonzalez to reach third, struck out Juan Pierre to end the threat.
From that point, the Dodgers' offense exploded against relievers Nate Bump, Travis Smith and Jim Crowell. In the seventh and eighth innings, the Dodgers pounded out 11 hits and scored 10 times.
"Momentum shifts," said Willis, who is now 0-3 with a 10.38 ERA lifetime against the Dodgers. "We came back to 4-3, but they had timely hits tonight. That's what wins ballgames and that's what gets teams into the postseason, timely hits."
The Marlins bullpen was rattled for four runs in the seventh, two days after the Padres scored 10 runs off the Marlins in the same frame. Saenz connected on a three-run homer off Crowell in the eighth.
After the game, the Marlins designated Crowell for assignment and recalled Triple-A infielder Joe Dillon.
There were a number of heroes for the Dodgers. Derek Lowe (3-4) collected the win, giving up three runs in 5 2/3 innings. Cesar Izturis matched a career best with five hits, including two doubles and two RBIs.
Lowe held the Marlins hitless through three innings before Carlos Delgado uncorked a two-run homer to left-center in the fourth. And in the fifth inning, Pierre's RBI groundout closed the gap to 4-3. Miguel Cabrera extended his hitting streak to seven games with an RBI double in the eighth.
The largest deficit the Marlins have overcome this season is trailing 3-0 in the second inning to the Rockies on April 26 at Coors Field. On that day, Florida rallied to win, 9-3.
Despite Willis giving up four runs early, the way he rebounded enabled the Marlins to pull within a run.
"His energy level was too high today," pitching coach Mark Wiley said of Willis. "He was really, really high energy. He had a hard time gearing down. He wasn't throwing strikes and changing speeds like he can."
Willis entered Tuesday having given up six earned runs in 50 innings before the Dodgers' big first inning. Kent had a two-run single, and Saenz added a two-run double. The Dodgers capitalized on Delgado's error when he dropped Willis' throw trying to nab Milton Bradley, who dropped a sacrifice bunt.
"After [the first inning], he settled down and did a heck of a job," Wiley said.
Even though Willis lost, he impressed Wiley with the way he was able to recover in a game he wasn't at his best.
"The elite pitchers, even if they have a tough inning, a tough first inning or whatever, stay in the game and keep their team in the game," Wiley said. "They make pitches to get themselves back on track again. I think that just shows what kind of competitor and what kind of pitcher he has been this year."
