The Los Angeles Angels dropped the final game of a 3-game series with the Minnesota Twins 3-0 Thursday afternoon, despite another strong outing by Garrett Richards who took the loss despite pitching 8 solid innings giving up three runs on five hits. The only blemish for Richards was a 4th inning home run by Trevor Plouffe, but unfortunately for the Angels the sizzling offense was held in check by former Angel Ervin Santana who pitched 8 shutout innings while allowing only 4 hits to pick up his 2nd win since coming back from an 80 game suspension due to steroid use.
