| (Best E Casino) - That the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have compiled one of the best records in the American League thus far can't be considered much of a surprise. Witnessing the team knocking balls over outfield fences with remarkable regularity, on the other hand, is something that's been a little less expected. Power has never been the Angels' calling card during Mike Scioscia's successful eight-year reign as manager, with the offense traditionally relying on speed, contact hitting and sound fundamentals |

Millwood has allowed just three earned runs in his three starts this season -- spanning 21 innings -- but only has one win to show for it. He put forth his third straight solid start to the season on Thursday, when he held the Baltimore Orioles to a run and three hits over seven frames to |
