Gaining confidence, the Los Angeles Angels feel they are still in the AL West race. Bobby Abreu’s surge at the plate is a big reason why. The right fielder will try to help keep the Angels hot when they open a three-game set against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night. Los Angeles is 7 1/2 games back of division-leading Texas, but the club feels it’s not out of it after going 5-1 in six games following a three-game sweep by league-worst Baltimore. Abreu’s move to the leadoff spot following the Orioles series has sparked the club. Known for his patience at the plate, he is hitting .375 with three doubles, two homers and six RBIs since the switch. Abreu hit a walkoff homer in a 2-1, 10-inning victory over Kansas City on Wednesday as the Angels swept the three-game series.

While Abreu has been a catalyst atop the lineup, a rejuvenated Scott Kazmir is also looking to boost Los Angeles’ playoff hopes. The left-hander returned from his latest injury with a strong performance Saturday, allowing one unearned run and three hits in five innings of a 10-1 win at Detroit. He posted a 13.73 ERA during a four-start losing streak before arm fatigue landed him on the disabled list July 10 - his second trip to the DL this year. Kazmir is 2-0 with a 4.94 ERA in four starts against the Blue Jays. The Angels have won five of six season meetings with Toronto, taking two of three at home from May 24-26. The Blue Jays are coming off a stirring 6-5 win over Boston on Thursday, as Fred Lewis capped a four-run ninth-inning rally with a walkoff sacrifice fly. That allowed Toronto to avoid a three-game sweep.
