The Los Angeles Angels haven’t swept a three-game home series from the Oakland Athletics in more than seven years. Joel Pineiro has endured five straight starts against Oakland without a victory. The Angels hope to end both those droughts Sunday when Pineiro makes his first start against the Athletics since 2006. Los Angeles last swept three games from Oakland in Anaheim from April 11-13, 2003, but now has a chance to do so again. Following a 4-0 victory in Friday’s series opener, the Angels won 12-3 on Saturday as Kendry Morales homered twice and drove in five runs. It was the sixth career multihomer game for Morales, who has 28 home runs since last year’s All-Star break - more than any other AL player during that stretch. To try to complete the sweep, Pineiro will face a nemesis from his days in the AL West with Seattle. The veteran right-hander posted a 10.80 ERA while losing all five starts against Oakland in 2006, his final season with the Mariners.

The Athletics, however, are an almost entirely different team now. The only healthy Oakland regular with more than four at-bats against Pineiro is Kevin Kouzmanoff, who is 2 for 9. None of those at-bats took place for the A’s.Pineiro is 0-3 with a 7.06 ERA in his last four starts. That’s a bit deceiving since his last two outings have been solid - he gave up two runs over six innings May 5 in a 3-1 loss at Boston and yielded five hits over 6 1-3 scoreless innings Monday in a 5-4, 11-inning win over Tampa Bay. Pineiro will face an offense that has produced a total of five runs during Oakland’s second four-game losing streak of the season. The A’s tried to give their lineup a boost Saturday by promoting veteran slugger Jack Cust from Triple-A Sacramento. Cust, however, went 0 for 3 and committed an error in left field when he dropped a sacrifice fly by Brandon Wood.
