ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -Gary Matthews Jr. and Vladimir Guerrero homered, Maicer Izturis hit a go-ahead single and the Los Angeles Angels beat Tampa Bay 4-2 on Wednesday to snap Scott Kazmir's six-game winning streak.

The right-hander, who had a career-high 19 wins and an AL-best 3.01 ERA last year, has a 1.83 ERA mark in six starts after spending the first 6 1-2 weeks of the season on the disabled list with |

| (Best E Casino) - Scott Kazmir tries to win his seventh straight start this afternoon, when the Tampa Bay Rays play the rubber match of their three-game series with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at Angel Stadium. Kazmir, who missed the first month of the season with a left elbow strain, has been absolutely incredible for the upstart Rays this season. In seven starts since returning from the disabled list, he has gone 6-1 with a sparkling 1.40 earned run average. Since dropping his season debut on May 4, Kaz |

| (Best E Casino) - The Tampa Bay Rays will try to win consecutive games at Angel Stadium for the first time in over eight years this evening, when they continue their three-game series with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Tampa won at the Big A for the first time in almost three years on Monday, as Dioner Navarro went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, four RBI and three runs scored in a 13-4 rout. Evan Longoria hit two solo homers, scored four times and drove in three runs, while Willy Aybar also had a solo home |

| (Best E Casino) - The Tampa Bay Rays will be able to test just how much they've improved this season when the upstart club begins a three-game series with the red-hot Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim tonight at Angel Stadium. Tampa's 37-26 record at the moment is the third-best mark in the American League, but the majority of those victories have come at Tropicana Field, where the Rays have posted a gaudy 24-10 ledger. The Rays are just 13-16 on the road so far and have gone 2-4 thus far on a nine-game road trip. |
