Closing the Door

Joe Pawlikowski sends along this nugget:

The Angels do not give away ninth-inning leads. They have won 161 consecutive games when leading after eight innings. It's the longest active streak in the majors. The last ninth-inning loss came April 19, 2006, at Minnesota.

Since the start of the 2006 season, K-Rod has blown 10 saves. Either those were earlier in the game, or after the Angels took a lead in the top of the ninth (or in extra innings), or the Angels ended up winning the game anyway. I'd like to see the rest of the list in that time. I'm sure there aren't that many leads blown after eight innings.
