ANAHEIM -- Barely half of the Angels that started Friday night's 8-4 win over the Mariners also finished it -- of the nine starting position players, four were lifted for defensive replacements in the late innings.
Collin Cowgill came in to play left field, Efren Navarro entered the game at first base, Kaleb Cowart took over at third, and Taylor Featherston at second.
Now that Johnny Giavotella has returned to the lineup, those four defensive replacements could be late-inning fixtures for the Angels over the team's nine remaining regular-season games.
