TODAY’S GAME

ANGELS’ DENNIS SPRINGER (0-0, 10.29 ERA)

vs.

TWINS’ BRAD RADKE (0-1, 9.64 ERA)

Metrodome, Minneapolis, 10:15 a.m.

* Radio--KTZN (710).

* Dennis Springer will make his first start of the season in a climate-controlled building that is probably not conducive to a good knuckleball, which dips and darts better in breezy or humid conditions. “I know when [knuckleballer Tim] Wakefield pitched against us in the Astrodome he didn’t do very well,” Collins said. “But Dennis has struggled in the cold weather, so maybe being indoors will help him.” The Angels will face a right-handed starter for the first time in three games, so Collins will start Jorge Fabregas at catcher and will give third baseman Dave Hollins a day off or use him as a designated hitter, starting Howell at third.
