TEAM RISP- Twins: 1 for 9  Angels: 4 for 11

Brandon Moss left the yard and had 4 RBI and Gio Gonzalez whiffed 13 batters
as the Anaheim Angels topped the Minnesota Twins by a score of 8 to 0 at
Angels Stadium.

Gonzalez(2-0) pitched a solid game.  He didn't allow much, just 9 hits and 2
walks in 9 innings dropping his ERA from 1.35 to 0.57.  Anaheim finished with
16 hits in the victory.  

Roy Halladay(0-1) took the loss.  He was not very effective, surrendering 3
runs in 2 and 1/3 innings.  'Everything felt great' Gonzalez said. 'I had a
good fastball, I felt I could throw it by everybody tonight.'
