Los Angeles @ Los Angeles preview

Last Meeting ( Jul 13, 2018 ) LA Angels 2, LA Dodgers 3

The Los Angeles Dodgers attempt to extend their winning streak to four games Saturday as they continue their three-game interleague series against the visiting Los Angeles Angels. The Dodgers wrapped up a 4-3 road trip with back-to-back wins in San Diego before edging the Angels 3-2 on Friday behind a 2-for-4, two-RBI performance by Max Muncy.

The 27-year-old Muncy, who will participate in the Home Run Derby during the All-Star break, went deep in the first inning of the series opener before adding a run-scoring single in the seventh to give him six RBIs during his four-game streak. Justin Turner (adductor) was kept out of the starting lineup by the Dodgers on Friday and is day-to-day. Kole Calhoun provided the offense for the Angels on Thursday with a pair of solo homers, giving him five RBIs over his last four games. Andrelton Simmons enters Saturday with a four-game hitting streak during which he has gone 7-for-17.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Angels LH Andrew Heaney (5-6, 3.84 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Alex Wood (5-5, 3.88)

Heaney looks to put an end to his woes on the road this season as he has gone 0-4 with a 5.56 ERA in eight starts away from home. The 27-year-old Oklahoman is hoping to duplicate his success from his last turn on Sunday, when he allowed three runs and three hits over seven innings in a home win over the Dodgers while registering 10 strikeouts for the second straight outing. With the triumph, Heaney improved to 1-2 with a 5.19 ERA in three career starts against the Dodgers.

Wood pitched opposite Heaney on Sunday but came away with a no-decision after giving up three runs and five hits over six innings. That outing was the first of the 27-year-old native of North Carolina's career against the Angels, although he is 2-6 against the American League. Wood is unbeaten in his last five turns, going 4-0 with a 2.64 ERA, 29 strikeouts and five walks over 30 2/3 frames.
