"The Angels went from eight runs on 17 hits in Friday's win to one run on seven hits in Saturday's extra-innings loss.

But it was a different disparity contained in those numbers that prompted Angels manager Mike Scioscia to shuffle his lineup for today's game against Rays right-hander Alex Cobb (making his major-league debut).

"Right now, we're doing great against left-handed pitching but really struggling against right-handed pitching," Scioscia said. "It's a bit of a creative lineup in some respects but we've got to try to find a little continuity against right-handed pitching."

Through the first 27 games of the season, the Angels are batting .309 with a .363 on-base percentage and .482 slugging percentage against left-handers but just .236/.298/.366 against right-handers."
