Howie Kendrick's third-inning RBI single would be all the offense the Angels could muster in a 2-1 loss to the Mariners on Wednesday. His hit held up until the eighth, where Mike Carp ripped Scott Downs for a two-RBI double. Kendrick will finish the month with a .284 average and six of his 14 home runs. He's the owner of a .297/.351/.467 triple slash on the season.
