Angels beat Rays to regain best record in AL
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 22 - 08 - 2008

Garret Anderson's infield single in the ninth inning extended his hitting streak to 23 games and gave the Los Angeles Angels a 5-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League on Wednesday.
Anderson struck out with the bases loaded in the seventh, but he came through in the same situation in the ninth, after the Rays had tied it 4-all on Carlos Pena's RBI double off Jose Arredondo (5-1).
The play initially was ruled an error on second baseman Akinori Iwamura. It later was changed to a hit, keeping Anderson's streak alive.
Erick Aybar had a two-run triple and Chone Figgins and Mark Teixeira also drove in runs for the Angels, who won for the first time in six games at Tropicana Field this season. The victory enabled Los Angeles to nudge back ahead of Tampa Bay for the best record in the AL at 77-48.
Orioles 11, Red Sox 6: At Baltimore, Ramon Hernandez and Melvin Mora hit three-run homers, and Baltimore overcame an early deficit to avoid a three-game sweep.
Baltimore trailed 4-0 before scoring 10 straight runs against three Boston pitchers. Hernandez put the Orioles up 6-4 with his third-inning drive, and Mora's 21st homer of the season made it 10-4 in the fourth.
Mora added a fifth-inning sacrifice fly to boost his team-high RBI total to 95.
Yankees 5, Blue Jays 1: At Toronto, Derek Jeter hit a two-run homer for New York and Andy Pettitte pitched seven strong innings to snap a four-start winless streak.
Elsewhere it was: White Sox 15, Mariners 3; Twins 3, Athletics 1; Indians 8, Royals 5; Rangers 9, Tigers 1.
Pelfrey makes Mets' day
In New York, Mike Pelfrey pitched a three-hitter for his first career complete game and David Wright homered to lead the New York Mets past the Atlanta Braves 6-3 in the National League on Wednesday.
Pelfrey (12-8) also delivered at the plate, hitting an RBI single in a five-run first inning, when the NL East leaders took advantage of two Atlanta errors.
Daniel Murphy hit a two-run single, and Fernando Tatis also drove in a run for the Mets, who have won eight of nine and 11 of 14. They remained 1-1/2 games ahead of second-place Philadelphia. Braves starter Jair Jurrjens (11-9) gave up six runs – four earned – and six hits in five innings.
Wright hit his 24th homer leading off the fifth, making it 6-1. The Braves have lost nine of 10, falling a season-worst 15 games under .500.
In other matches it was: Diamondbacks 8, Padres 6; Phillies 4, Nationals 0; Brewers 5, Astros 2; Reds 2, Cubs 1; Cardinals 11, Pirates 2; Giants 6, Marlins 5; Rockies 4, Dodgers 3.
