Worth noting

• The Angels' rotation, considered their primary question mark coming into the season, has been solid overall. The starters' 3.93 ERA ranks seventh in the American League - and that's with ace Jered Weaver (6.00) and new lefty Hector Santiago (7.71) struggling coming out of the gate. Weaver faces Mets lefty Jonathan Niese in Saturday's middle game of the weekend series.

• The home run ball has been the big issue for the Angels' bullpen early on. In 22 innings, their relievers have surrendered seven homers, more than any other team in the American League. Closer Ernesto Frieri and Fernando Salas each have been victimized twice.
