Jon Garland, RHP (9-6, 4.30)
Angels (67-40)
Andy Pettitte, LHP (12-7, 3.76)
Yankees (59-48)
Scouting Report:
Angels: Garland pitched well enough to get the win in his last outing but was buoyed by a huge offensive outburst that put up 11 runs on the Orioles. Garland, however, also allowed five runs and had trouble with the long ball as all five of those runs came via a three-run and a two-run homer. Garland has been inconsistent this season, however, and hasn't been able to register wins in consecutive starts since April 17 and 23. Despite the two homers the right hander was able to shut down the Orioles from the second through the sixth innings allowing just two hits in that stretch before he was pulled in the sixth. Garland is now 6-2 on the road and has yet to face the Yankees this season.
Yankees: After a rocky first inning last Saturday at Fenway, when he allowed two unearned runs, Pettitte settled down and yielded just a harmless solo homer to J.D. Drew over the next five innings to earn his seventh win in nine starts. He is 3-2 in July with a 3.03 ERA in five starts. Pettitte will look to continue his career success against the Angels, with a 12-6 lifetime record to go with a 4.02 ERA in 22 starts lifetime against the Halos. This is his first start this season against the Angels.
