Angels 3, Toronto 1
5/23/2008

It was an exciting Tuesday night as the Angels of Anaheim and Toronto Blue Jays encountered on a game that was attended by a crowd of 31,487 fans. John Lackey worked seven strong innings, then watched in consternation from the clubhouse as the Los Angeles Angels' bullpen nearly threw away his first victory of the season. Relievers Scot Shields and Francisco Rodriguez escaped bases-loaded jams in the eighth and ninth, securing Lackey's first win since Sept. 28, and the Angels beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 on Tuesday night.

On the other hand, Casey Kotchman doubled home Torii Hunter with the go-ahead run in the third inning, and the Angels snapped a four-game road losing streak in a ballpark where they have struggled in recent years. Angels, loser of 14 of 16 in Toronto coming in, improved to 19-38 at Rogers Centre since 1996. "We were fortunate in some spots," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia. "They hit a couple of balls hard right at guys that we turned double plays on late in the game. "I felt pretty good," Lackey said. Two singles and a walk helped Toronto load the bases in the eighth, but Shields escaped by striking out Matt Stairs on three pitches and getting Shannon Stewart to ground into a double play. Rodriguez loaded the bases with three straight walks in the ninth, but held on to record his major-league leading 18th save. Rodriguez walked Gregg Zaun, Marco Scutaro and Brad Wilkerson with one out. Aaron Hill popped out and Rodriguez fell behind Alex Rios 3-0 before catching him looking at a fastball to end it. Rios, batting .165 with 23 strikeouts in his past 79 at bats, admitted he had been fooled. "I got caught up on that pitch," said Rios.

In addition, Lackey allowed one run on seven hits, walked three and struck out a season-high six. "John was terrific," Scioscia said. Lackey's only jam came in the second, when two straight singles and a walk loaded the bases for Hill, who ended the inning by flying out to center. Lackey won a career-high 19 games last season, and his successful return gives the Angels a big boost. "It's huge," said catcher Mike Napoli. Los Angeles loaded the bases in the first and second against Toronto right-hander Dustin McGowan but the only run came when Garret Anderson grounded into a double play in the first. Kotchman was thrown out at the plate on a bases-loaded fielder's choice by Macier Izturis in the second before Gary Matthews stranded three runners by flying out to center.

Angels broke a 1-all tie in the third when Hunter doubled over the head of Rios in center and scored when Kotchman doubled down the left field line. McGowan allowed three runs-two earned-on five hits in 6 1-3 innings. The Angels lost shortstop Erick Aybar in the first when he dislocated his right pinky while fielding a ground ball. Asked whether Aybar might land on the disabled list, Scioscia acknowledged that it was "certainly a possibility." Napoli reached base all four times. He drew three walks-two intenional-and was hit by a pitch in the sixth.

Watch out for the exciting games of the Angels of Anaheim.
