A series finale is the very last installment of a television series, usually a sitcom or drama. against Oakland. "I like the red uniforms, I think they look good," Escobar said. "I won my first start wearing them so I'm going to stick with them. I'm not superstitious or anything but I'm not going to change now." One can hardly blame Escobar for trying just about anything to change the tough luck he's had with the Angels, who don't seem to score any runs for him when he's pitching. Escobar went 11-14 last season and his 3.61 ERA was the sixth lowest in the American League American League (AL) One of the two associations of professional baseball teams in the U.S. and Canada designated as major leagues; the other is the National League (NL). .

"You never know what's going to happen but I think that Joe and Dustin have proved that they are ready to be major-league starters." Weaver continued his comeback Friday night, throwing 77 pitches at Rancho Cucamonga.
