Los Angeles @ Los Angeles preview

Last Meeting ( Apr 2, 2016 ) LA Dodgers 1, LA Angels 8

The Los Angeles Angels attempt to remain perfect on their road trip when they visit the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday for the opener of their four-game, home-and-home interleague series. After an 0-6 homestand, the Angels turned things around in Seattle, posting a 3-0 triumph Sunday to complete a three-game sweep of the Mariners.

Mike Trout is 6-for-16 over his last four contests and has hit safely in 11 of his 13 games this month. The Dodgers had their three-game winning streak halted Sunday, dropping a 5-2 decision to St. Louis to fall to 4-3 on their nine-game homestand. Corey Seager extended his hitting streak to six games with a pair of solo homers, marking the first time he has both gone deep twice in a contest and homered in back-to-back games. The Dodgers look to continue their recent dominance in the all-time series after winning eight of their last nine meetings with the Angels.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Angels RH Matt Shoemaker (1-5, 9.12 ERA) vs. Dodgers RH Kenta Maeda (3-2, 2.30)

Shoemaker suffered his fourth consecutive loss Wednesday against St Louis, allowing four runs and seven hits over four innings after being recalled from the minors to replace the injured Garrett Richards. The 29-year-old Shoemaker has worked more than four frames only twice in his six outings — the only two outings in which he has yielded fewer than three runs. A native of Michigan, Shoemaker took the loss in his lone career start against the Dodgers despite allowing only two runs over six innings on Aug. 6, 2014.

Maeda is coming off his second straight defeat, a loss to the New York Mets on Wednesday in which he surrendered four runs and six hits over five innings. The 28-year-old from Osaka, Japan, has yielded 10 runs while going 0-2 in his last three outings after giving up just one en route to a 3-0 record over his first four turns. Maeda, who never has faced the Angels, has lost each of his last two home starts.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Dodgers' bullpen had its streak of seven straight games without allowing an earned run come to an end Sunday, as it surrendered four against St. Louis.

2. Angels slugger Albert Pujols will start both games at Dodger Stadium at first base.

3. Dodgers OF Scott Van Slyke (back) could begin a rehab assignment this week while LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu (shoulder) began his with two scoreless innings for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday.
