Angels outlast Orioles 17-8
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 18 - 08 - 2009

Torii Hunter celebrated his return from the disabled list by driving in the go-ahead run in a nine-run 13th inning as the Los Angeles Angels outlasted the Baltimore Orioles 17-8 in the American League Sunday.
Chone Figgins had four hits for the Angels, including the 1,000th of his career, an RBI single in the sixth inning.
Los Angeles' leadoff hitter scored three runs and drove in three.
After missing 32 games with a groin injury, Hunter had two hits and two RBIs in his first action since July 7. He lined into a double play with the bases loaded in the 11th but redeemed himself with a bases-loaded bouncer up the middle in the 13th off Brian Bass (5-3).
Rangers 4, Red Sox 3: At Arlington, Texas, Ian Kinsler homered and drove in two runs and Dustin Nippert pitched six solid innings as Texas passed Boston in the AL wild-card race.
The Rangers took two of three in the weekend series to move a half-game ahead of Boston.
Kinsler, back in the lineup one day after he was hit by a pitch that ricocheted off his head, went deep for the second straight day and had an RBI single in the third that gave Texas a 3-1 lead.
Taylor Teagarden also connected to help the Rangers win for the seventh time in 10 games.
Elsewhere in the American League it was: Royals 3, Tigers 2, 10 innings; Rays 5, Blue Jays 2; Indians 7, Twins 4; Athletics 3, White Sox 2; Mariners 10, Yankees 3.
Wolf lifts Dodgers
In Phoenix, Randy Wolf finished a triple short of the cycle and pitched neatly into the eighth innings to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 9-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks Sunday that snapped a three-game skid in the American League.
Wolf (7-6) retired 20 straight batters after Ryan Roberts singled with one out in the first inning. Arizona rookie second baseman Rusty Ryal broke the streak with his first major league homer leading off the eighth inning.
Los Angeles right fielder Andre Ethier had four hits, finishing a triple short of the cycle, and four RBIs. His three-run homer 10 pitches into game off Yusmeiro Petit (2-7) gave Wolf an early cushion.
Wolf and Orlando Hudson had two-out, two-run homers in the fourth inning for a 7-0 lead. Wolf also hit a single and an RBI double.
Phillies 4, Braves 1: At Atlanta, Ryan Howard homered twice and drove in four runs to back rookie J.A. Happ's strong 7 2-3 strong innings as Philadelphia downed Atlanta.
In other NL games it was: Astros 8, Brewers 5; Marlins 10, Rockies 3; Nationals 5, Reds 4; Mets 3, Giants 2; Cardinals 7, Padres 5.
