Prediction

The Angels are sending right-hander Carson Fulmer (0-2, 3.77 ERA) to the mound in this matchup. He has allowed three runs or fewer in each of his last four starts and will be looking to shut down the Rockies' offense. Colorado is countering in this contest with right-hander Ryan Feltner (1-10, 4.99 ERA) as they look to grab the road win.

The Angels missed a good chance to take the series yesterday with a strong outing from their starter but they won't do it again. Los Angeles grabs the victory and claims the series at home behind another good effort from Fulmer.

Angels 5, Rockies 2

More

• Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe hit his 15th home run on Wednesday. He is the first catcher for the Halos to do so since Mike Napoli in 2009. Lance Parrish set the franchise record for a catcher in a season in 1990 with 22.

• Fulmer has been very effective for the Halos of late. He has allowed three runs in each of his last two starts but has controlled the game to give the team a chance to win.

• Luis Rengifo had a "flare-up" of his wrist after taking a swing in Wednesday's game and was removed from the contest. The right-hander has been solid for the Angels this season, hitting .302 with six home runs and 30 runs batted in.
