When the Los Angeles Angels dealt Sean O’Sullivan to the Kansas City Royals last month, they were within five games of first place and in need of an offensive spark. After 11 losses in 16 games, they have to be wondering if they gave up on the young right-hander too soon. O’Sullivan hasn’t won in three starts with Kansas City, and the 22-year-old figures to be highly motivated to beat his former club as the Royals visit the Angels to begin a three-game series Monday night. Los Angeles was within striking distance of first-place Texas when it visited the Rangers on July 22, the same day it struck a deal to acquire third baseman Alberto Callaspo from Kansas City for O’Sullivan.

Callaspo has hit .291 with the Angels - the team that originally signed him in 2001 - while giving them an option other than Maicer Izturis or the struggling Brandon Wood, but he’s only driven in five runs. Los Angeles is 5-11 since the trade and sits nine back of Texas after Sunday’s 9-4 loss in Detroit. O’Sullivan fell to 0-2 with a 6.06 ERA with the Royals after giving up four runs over 5 1-3 innings in a 4-3 loss at Oakland on Wednesday. Yet for a pitching staff that’s on its way to having one of the majors’ five-worst ERAs for a second straight season, Kansas City is happy to have another promising young arm. O’Sullivan’s mound opponent is Ervin Santana, whose injury in June 2009 led to him making his major league debut. Santana can only wish he missed his most recent start. The right-hander surrendered nine runs and 12 hits in 3 2-3 innings in a 9-7 loss at Baltimore on Wednesday.
