The Angels look to bring their hot streak out on the road whenthey visit the Toronto Blue Jays in the opener of a three-gameseries Tuesday. The Angels own baseball's best home record at 40-17 and justcompleted a 5-1 homestand. The road, however, has not been askind, with Anaheim carrying a mediocre 29-30 record.

Countering for the Angels will be Joe Saunders (6-0, 3.46). The26-year-old lefthander has made nine starts this season, withAnaheim winning all but one. Saunders has yet to allow morethan four earned runs in any start. The Blue Jays are coming off a split of a four-game series atKansas City.
