Howie Kendrick has already helped secure Freeway Series bragging rights for the Los Angeles Angels. Closing the gap in the AL West race is the bigger priority. The hot-hitting second baseman looks to lead the Angels to a fifth consecutive win over the slumping Los Angeles Dodgers in the middle game of this series Wednesday night in Anaheim. Kendrick is hitting .419 with three homers, five doubles and 10 RBIs during a 7-3 stretch for the Angels. He has lifted his season average from .255 to .280 with that surge, which has been spurred by his success versus the Dodgers. Kendrick has a .404 average with one homer and eight RBIs in 12 meetings with the crosstown rivals. He’s 10 for 18 with one homer and five RBIs in four matchups this season, including a three-game sweep at Dodger Stadium earlier this month.
Kendrick came up big versus the Dodgers again Tuesday, as his third hit drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh, helping the Angels win 6-3 and clinch this season’s Freeway Series with two games remaining. Kendrick has batted leadoff in each of the last five games with Erick Aybar sidelined, and his play is also softening the blow caused by the absences of Maicer Izturis and Kendry Morales. Tuesday’s victory opened what could be a key 12-game homestand for the Angels, who are hoping to trim the 3 1/2-game gap on division-leading Texas, the hottest team in baseball with nine wins in a row. Sending Joel Pineiro to the mound could help. The right-hander is 3-0 with a 2.67 ERA in four career starts against the Dodgers after throwing a five-hitter with seven strikeouts in a 10-1 victory June 11.
