Angels Limp to a Victory, 13-9 : Baseball: They beat the Brewers, but Langston is added to the growing list of injured players.

With Chuck Finley to be added to the disabled list today, Scott Bailes placed on the DL Sunday and Mark Langston scheduled today for a second examination of the leg he injured Sunday, the Angels might have lost more than they gained in winning the final two games of their six-game home stand.

“We’re kind of hamstrung,” Manager Buck Rodgers said.

A pulled hamstring is one of the few mishaps that didn’t befall the Angels Sunday in their sloppy 13-9 victory over the Brewers, played before 22,823 at Anaheim Stadium.

After watching Finley throw for the first time since he hyper-extended his left big toe April 5, Rodgers decided the 18-game winner wasn’t ready to start Wednesday and began the process of putting Finley on the DL today. Bailes, the lone left-handed reliever, was put out of commission for 15 days by an injured muscle in his right hip, incurred last Tuesday.

And Langston (1-1) fought off pain in his left groin long enough to last five innings and get credit for the victory, the Angels’ second in succession after losing their first four games. He did not accompany the team to Texas for the start of a 10-game, three-city trip.

Langston said he injured his leg during his first start, but felt strong enough to start Sunday after taking anti-inflammatory medication. He struggled through five innings, barely making it off the field after giving up a two-run home run to Greg Vaughn that cut the Angels’ lead to 10-4.

“In the first inning I felt fine, and in the second inning I felt it a little bit,” Langston said. “After that I felt it a lot. I felt it when I pushed off.”

According to Langston, team orthopedist Lewis Yocum said the injury was to Langston’s hip. However, Langston said the problem was in his groin. Either way, it wasn’t what the overworked, under-achieving pitching staff needed. Scott Lewis and Mark Eichhorn were both ineffective, leading Rodgers to summon Steve Frey in the ninth inning, hours after Frey arrived from Edmonton.

“He looks very doubtful right now,” Rodgers said of Langston. “We’ll probably go with the new kid (Julio Valera, acquired Sunday for Dick Schofield) on Wednesday and save Scotty Lewis for Langston’s turn.

“As far as a trade, we’re not going to trade just to make a trade. The guys we have in Edmonton, Dave Johnson and Willie Fraser, are people we let go in spring training. Right now we haven’t got any prospect at the triple-A level. The last tradeable guy was just traded, without going into our rotation or the bullpen.”

Although they figured pitching would be their strength and offense their potential downfall this season, the opposite has so far been true for the Angels.

Their team earned-run average was 5.33 after Sunday’s mess--all nine Milwaukee runs were earned, despite two errors that padded the Angels’ season total to 14--but their batting average was .284.

Lance Parrish led the offense Sunday with a home run and four runs batted in, giving him 1,002 RBIs for his career. He became the seventh player in major league history to catch 1,000 games and drive in 1,000 runs.

“It’s nice. I enjoy the fact I’ve been around long enough to achieve that kind of goal,” he said. “It’s something, hopefully, I can look back at and enjoy down the road.”

Junior Felix homered in the third against starter Chris Bosio (0-1), and Rene Gonzales--whose contract was purchased from Edmonton to provide backup infield strength--had a double and a three-run homer to nearly match his production in 118 games last season with Toronto. Gonzales had reported to Edmonton on Friday, only to find a message summoning him to Anaheim.

“It’s humbling. You think you’re beyond that and that you’ll never see the minor leagues again,” he said. “But hard work rewards itself. It made this game today even more fun. This is really where I belong.”
