Today’s Starters

EDISON FIELD, 4:45 P.M.

TV--Channel 11.

Radio--KLAC (570), XPRS (1090).

Update--John Lackey makes his first playoff start. In the first round against New York, he appeared once in relief, making the Angels’ comeback from a 6-1 deficit possible by relieving Ramon Ortiz in the third inning and pitching three shutout innings. He has faced the Twins once, giving up five runs (three earned) over six innings. Brad Radke, with perhaps a better changeup than the one Joe Mays used to baffle the Angels in Game 1, ranks among the all-time Angel nemeses. In his career against the Angels, Radke is 11-4 with a 1.72 earned-run average overall and 6-1 with a 1.38 ERA in Anaheim.
