48 Tommy Hanson, SP

Angels starting pitcher Tommy Hanson had one of his best starts Saturday against the Yankees, striking out a season-high eight batters. He's won both of his June starts, which is the first time he's won consecutive games this season.

Hanson is not only playing like a confident pitcher, he's also talking like one.

"That was the most confident I felt all year," Hanson said, per the Los Angeles Daily News. "I'm getting back into a rhythm. I threw the ball well in the bullpen (before the game) and carried it over into the game."

Angels starter Tommy Hanson turned in another solid outing as he earned his fourth win Saturday against the Yankees.

Hanson (4-2) surrendered a run-scoring triple to Brett Gardner and an RBI single to Jayson Nix in the third inning. The right-hander permitted the two runs, five hits and a walk while striking out eight in 6 1/3 innings of a 6-2 win.

Hanson has allowed four runs over his last 11 1/3 innings. He is scheduled to make his next start Thursday at home against Seattle.

Angels starter Tommy Hanson earned a win Saturday with a nicely pitched game in Boston.

Hanson improved to 3-2 as he got solid run support and gave up just two runs on seven hits and four walks over five innings. He limited the damage with four strikeouts. His ERA is 4.12 after his 114 pitches.

Hanson was a little better this time around in his second start since coming off the disabled list. His next scheduled start comes Friday against the Yankees.

The Angels will not change the order of their rotation despite Friday's rainout. 

The team will still plan to start Tommy Hanson during game one Saturday. He will be followed by C.J. Wilson, who will pitch Saturday night's game. Joe Blanton will pitch, as expected, on Sunday.
