Los Angeles @ Los Angeles preview

Last Meeting ( May 16, 2016 ) LA Angels 7, LA Dodgers 6

The Los Angeles Angels attempt to finish with a perfect record on their five-game road trip when they visit the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday. After going winless on a six-game homestand, the Angels swept a three-game set in Seattle over the weekend before beginning a four-game, home-and-home series against the Dodgers with Monday's 7-6 triumph.

Mike Trout, who has hit safely in 12 of his 14 games this month, and Albert Pujols combined to go 5-for-8 with five RBIs — with the former improving to 8-for-20 over his last five contests. The Dodgers fell to 4-4 on their nine-game homestand with their second straight loss following a three-game winning streak. Trayce Thompson continued his strong month, belting a pair of homers and driving in three runs to give him five blasts and 12 RBIs over his last eight contests. Corey Seager is riding a seven-game hitting streak that has featured three straight and five overall multi-hit performances.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Angels RH Jered Weaver (3-2, 6.10 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Clayton Kershaw (5-1, 1.74)

Weaver was pounded for the second time in three starts Thursday, when he retired the first 11 batters he faced before surrendering eight runs and nine hits — three homers — over four-plus innings in a loss to St. Louis. The 33-year-old Californian also was tagged for seven runs and 11 hits over five frames in a loss at Milwaukee on May 2 before limiting Tampa Bay to one earned run in six innings of a no-decision five days afterward. Weaver has pitched well against the Dodgers in his career, going 6-2 with a 2.52 ERA in 10 outings.

Kershaw has been the polar opposite of Weaver this month, allowing a total of two runs over 25 innings in three starts — including his second three-hit shutout in that span Thursday against the New York Mets. The 28-year-old Texan has reached double digits in strikeouts in each of his last five outings and has yielded more than two earned runs just once in his eight turns this season. Kershaw is 4-2 with a 2.91 ERA in eight career starts against the Angels.

1. With several members of their rotation out indefinitely with injuries, the Angels reportedly are closing in on a deal with two-time National League Cy Young Award-winning RHP Tim Lincecum.
