Los Angeles (29-29) at Miami (29-33)

Aaron Sele looks to win consecutive starts for the first time in a year as the Anaheim Angels continue their weekend interleague series at Pro Player Stadium against the Florida Marlins.

The veteran right-hander was 6-3 after beating the Cincinnati Reds on June 7, 2002. He went 2-6 in his next 13 starts and missed about five weeks due to a partially torn rotator cuff.

Sele began this season on the disabled list while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, and won his first start, limiting Toronto to one run and two hits over 5 2-3 innings in the Angels’ 6-1 win on May 9.

However, Sele lost his next three starts, allowing a combined 17 earned runs and 22 hits over 12 1-3 innings. He bounced back with a better effort against Tampa Bay on Sunday, giving up two runs and seven hits over five innings in a 9-4 win.

Sele will now try to help the Angels bounce back from a 4-1 loss to the Marlins in the series opener Friday.

Florida’s Ivan Rodriguez hit a three-run homer and Carl Pavano retired his final 18 batters for the Marlins. Rodriguez’s sixth-inning home run, which broke a 1-1 tie, was his seventh of the season and first in his last 16 games.

Pavano pitched eight impressive innings, allowing only three hits while striking out six. He issued just one walk, which was intentional.

Jeff DaVanon, who had hit two home runs in each of his last three games, had two of Anaheim’s four hits. DaVanon batted leadoff for the second time this season, after David Eckstein injured his left hand during warmups and was a late scratch from the lineup.

Florida won for the 10th time in its last 14, and tied a season low with three hits and didn’t leave a single runner on base.

“I don’t care about that,” Marlins manager Jack McKeon said. “You know what I like? Them Ws. I don’t care if we leave anybody on or 50 on if we get the W.”

It was Anaheim’s second straight loss after winning five of six.
