Second Chances
Garret Anderson struck out with the bases loaded to end the seventh inning. The Angels led 4-3 at the time, and a hit could have broken the game open. Instead, the Rays come back in the eighth, scoring the tying run on back-to-back doubles by Upton and Pena. In the ninth, Anderson comes up once again with the bases loaded and two out. This time he hits a hard shot up the middle that Iwamura knocked down, but couldn't make a play. That was enough for Francisco Rodriguez who records his 48th save of the season. The Angels finally win a game at the Trop.
This was another exciting game in an exciting series. I'm with the Angels announcers on this one. These teams are evenly matched, and theirs would make for a great playoff series. The Angels grab back the best record in baseball as the Cubs lose also.
