Worth noting
• Scioscia remained non-committal about Joe Blanton's status in the rotation.
• With a first-inning single in Tuesday's loss to the Twins, Mike Trout extended his hitting streak to a career-long 15 games. In that span, Trout is hitting .400 and has raised his average from .311 to .324.
• Prior to Wednesday's game, the Angels claimed right-handed reliever J.C. Gutierrez off waivers from the Royals and added him to the 40-man roster.
Gutierrez posted a 3.38 ERA in 29 1/3 innings this season.
