The Angels will look to put an end to their eight-game road losing streak when they take on the White Sox in the final game of a three-game set on Wednesday in Chicago.

Angels

The best way to describe LA is inconsistent. The Halos have lost six of their last 10, including a 3-0 defeat on Tuesday. This just one night after routing the White Sox 8-2 in the series opener.

It’s been a mixed bag for Los Angeles offensively, as catcher Chris Iannetta is 0-for-10 in his last three games and 2-for-28 in his last nine, while second baseman Johnny Giavotella is 6-for-14 with three doubles in his last three games.

Heralded center fielder Mike Trout meanwhile, is struggling at the plate, going 6-for-39 (.154) with 13 strikeouts in his last 10 games.

Trailing Houston by one game in the race for the lead in the AL West, the Angels will try to turn things around on Wednesday by sending Andrew Heaney (5-1, 2.45 ERA) to the mound.

The lefty allowed a season high four runs and 10 hits in a no-decision versus Baltimore on Friday.

The rookie 24-year-old has not made beyond six inningsin each of his last two starts after being called up from Triple-A Salt Lake. This will be his first start against the White Sox.

White Sox

Chicago first baseman Jose Abreu has been hot against the Angels, scoring three times in the series so far. He along with Melky Cabrera are having quite the series. Cabrera hit twice in the series opener, then followed that up with a two-run double on Tuesday.

With their most recent win, Chicago clings to the second wild card in the American League.

They will look to close the gap on 7th place Detroit, by going with starter John Danks (6-9, 4.79 ERA) in Game 3.

The southpaw suffered his first loss since late June his last time out, giving up three runs on five hits in six innings for a 3-2 loss to Kansas City on Friday.

The 30-year-old will look to rebound versus the Angels, against whom he struck out 10 in no-decision in his last meeting.
