ANAHEIM -- The Angels juggled their lineup Wednesday afternoon with the results intended to point toward greater run production.
Chone Figgins was dropped from the top to ninth in the order in favor of Maicer Izturis, with Orlando Cabrera returning to second and Vladimir Guerrero to the three-hole.
Aside from Adam Kennedy's game-winning three-run homer in the 10th inning Tuesday night, the Angels have had difficulty scoring runs in bunches and hope the latest tweak will pay similar dividends to the move earlier this season that slotted Cabrera into the three-hole.
"We're looking to jump-start some things," manager Mike Scioscia said. "Figgy has been struggling a little bit, but we want to flip him down a bit, especially earlier in the game. Situations are going to find you -- there is no way to take a guy out of the pressure situation -- but we want to take guys out and let them get into the flow."
