Angels 1, Yankees 0
8/07/2008

It was a game for the Angels of Anaheim as they defeated the team of Yankees on a Friday night game at the Yankee Stadium, and it was fantastic!

Torii Hunter's eyes went big as he saw Mariano Rivera's cutter floating over the middle of the plate. Hunter's RBI single in the ninth inning off Rivera led the Angels of Anaheim to their fifth straight win, 1-0 against the NY Yankees. It was a fitting ending to a tough week for Hunter, who will travel to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, on Saturday morning to attend the burial of Edna Cobbs, his grandmother. Cobbs, who helped raise Hunter, passed away last Friday.

"She was a big baseball fan,"Hunter said, with a sad smile pouring over his face.

On the other hand, New York lost for the fifth time in six games. The Yankees began the day 4 1/2 games behind Tampa Bay in the AL East. Hunter's hit made a winner of Ervin Santana, who pitched eight stellar innings. Santana struck out eight to snap a two-game losing streak. However, Francisco Rodriguez pitched a perfect ninth for his major league-leading 45th save in 48 chances. Rivera is 26-of-26 in save chances.

Mariano Rivera gave up a single to Vladimir Guerrero, after walking Mark Teixeira to start the inning, to put runners at the corners before Hunter lined a single up the middle to score pinch-runner Reggie Willits.

"It's hard. Seeing tremendous defense, tremendous pitching, you go in there and don't do the job, it's disappointing," said Rivera.

Yankee starter Sidney Ponson allowed two hits in seven scoreless innings, his best start since joining the team in June. He held the Angels hitless through four innings, but Garret Anderson singled to lead off the fifth. The 31-year-old pitcher walked four and struck out one. Both teams wasted prime scoring opportunities multiple times. The team of Angels did it three times in the first six frames. After a leadoff single in the fifth inning for the Yankees, Ivan Rodriguez grounded into a double play; Guerrero did the same in the top of the sixth for Los Angeles; and Derek Jeter popped out to second on a hit-and-run after Damon's leadoff single in the bottom of the sixth. The team of New York made some stellar defensive plays. Wilson Betemit, making his 10th career start at first base, made a fully-extended, leaping snare of Izturis' line drive leading off the third, and Bobby Abreu twice made jumping catches in right, smacking into the wall each time. Melky Cabrera crashed into the fence in center to start the seventh inning, robbing Anderson of extra-bases. Not to be outdone, Izturis made a spectacular play in the seventh. Robinson Cano lined a shot that glanced off Santana and seemed headed for center field.

Furthermore, Mike Scioscia came out to check on Santana, who stayed in the game. On the other hand, Joe Girardi is not really pushing the panic button yet, but he is becoming increasingly uneasy to see the Yankees play better baseball.

The Angels of Anaheim had a successful game and the team will continue doing this to be able to earn the victory that they really deserve.
