Angels 4, Tampa Bay 6
8/23/2008

The fans of Angels of Anaheim were a bit disappointed as the team lost their game versus the team of Tampa Bay on a Monday night game at the Tropicana Field.

Moreover, Upton casually rounded first and jogged toward second with Angels first baseman Mark Teixeira following up the line to meet left fielder Rivera's throw to an uncovered base. Teixeira fielded the ball on a bounce and made the tag just before a surprised Upton touched the bag. Upton, with the inning over, dropped his head and bent over at second base for a few moments before taking his position on defense. Upton was benched for one game on the 6th of August, the day after he failed to run hard on a grounder back to the mound against Cleveland. Maddon removed him in the middle of an inning at Texas for not hustling on a double-play grounder Friday then left him out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers. Tuesday night's game between the division leaders is still scheduled; however Rays president Matt Silverman said that could change if the storm deviates from its projected path.

The sixth Tampa Bay pitcher, Dan Wheeler, worked a perfect ninth for his sixth save in seven opportunities, enabling the Rays to maintain their 4 1/2-game lead over Boston in the division. Hinske hit his 19th homer in the second inning and Floyd added his ninth in the third inning, both coming off right-hander Jon Garland, who allowed five runs and 10 hits in six innings. Back at Tropicana Field after going 7-3 on a season-high 10-game trip in which they thrived despite the benching of B.J. Upton and losing Carl Crawford, Evan Longoria and Troy Percival to injuries, the Rays improved the best home record in the majors to 46-17.

On the other hand, Juan Rivera homered and Garret Anderson extended his hitting streak to a season-best 21 games with a sixth-inning RBI double for the team of Los Angeles. Guerrero added an RBI single off Grant Balfour in the seventh inning, cutting Tampa Bay's lead to 5-4.

"What's hurt us here is what's happened in the batter's box. We just haven't swung the bats well in what's invariably a hitter's park," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.

B.J. Upton slipped away from Tropicana Field without speaking to reporters, leaving others to answer questions about another baserunning gaffe that overshadowed a big Tampa Bay triumph. The first-place Rays defeated the Angels of Anaheim by 6-4 Monday night; however, the postgame buzz was more about Upton getting caught jogging on the bases again instead of the AL East leaders improving to 5-2 against the team with the top record in the majors.

"I'll tell you one thing about tonight, he's hurting," said designated hitter Cliff Floyd, who hit a two-run homer to help right-hander Andy Sonnanstine get his team-leading 13th win. "It's one of those situations where he assumed. We've talked about assumptions. That's an assumption on his part. That's part of his game we've got to get rid of," said manager Joe Maddon.

The Angels of Anaheim was challenged of this lost and the team will continue to fight no matter how hard it takes to be able to win the victory that they deserve.
