"Bobby Abreu entered Friday night's game 10 doubles shy of 500, a milestone that, when reached, will make the Angels right fielder only the fifth player in major league history with 2,000 hits, 500 doubles, 250 home runs, 350 stolen bases and 1,000 walks.

The others are Hall of Famers Willie Mays and Rickey Henderson and two players worthy of Hall of Fame consideration, Barry Bonds and Craig Biggio.

Abreu moved a step closer to thatgroup with double No. 491 in the third inning Friday night, but this one won't make his greatest-hits list. "America's Funniest Home Videos" might call for the tape, though.

Erick Aybar, on first base after his single, took off for second on a hit-and-run play, and Abreu hit a slow roller through the hole vacated by second baseman Scott Sizemore, who went to cover the bag.

Aybar got to second and came to a complete stop, but so did the ball, which died in shallow right field before Magglio Ordonez picked it up.

Aybar advanced to third, laughing as he got to the bag, and Abreu was able to make it to second on a hit that traveled about 130 feet. Both scored on Torii Hunter's three-run home run, which gave the Angels a short-lived 4-2 lead.

Perhaps for good measure, Abreu hit career double No. 492 off the right-field wall in the seventh inning.

Depth charge

The Angels claimed utility infielder Kevin Frandsen, 27, off waivers from the Boston Red Sox to shore up an area in which they have little depth.

Frandsen, who spent parts of four seasons with the San Franciscio Giants, has played in 174 major league games; Hainley Statia, Gary Patchett and Nate Sutton, who are playing middle infield at triple-A Salt Lake, have played in zero big league games.

"He can play all three infield positions and first base if he had to," Manager Mike Scioscia said of Frandsen, who was optioned to Salt Lake. "We don't have a lot of experience in the middle infield. He's got some major league experience, and you always want to build depth when you can."

Frandsen, who can also play the corner outfield spots, hit .367 in his final 32 games for the Giants in 2007 but appeared in one game in 2008 after rupturing his left Achilles' tendon in spring training. He played in 23 games in 2009, batting .140 (seven for 50)."
