Angels 5, Detroit 4
9/9/2008

It was a thrilling game as the Angels of Anaheim and the team of Detroit faced on a Tuesday night game at the Comerica Park.

Torri Hunter gave the Angels a 2-0 lead in the first inning with a two-run double with the bases loaded. Cabrera's two-out RBI single in the bottom half scored Granderson, who led off with a single and stole second. Moreover, Vladimir Guerrero doubled with one out in the third and scored on Hunter's RBI single. During the third inning, the Tigers tied it at 3. Angels starter Joe Saunders hit Placido Polanco with a pitch with one out and Magglio Ordonez followed with a double. Cabrera brought Ordonez home with a double off the right-field fence. The Angels took a 4-3 lead on reliever Gary Glover's error in the fifth that allowed Hunter to score. He had doubled with one out and moved to third on an error by third baseman Ryan Raburn. Saunders allowed three runs and eight hits in 6 1-3 innings, walking one and striking out two. Tigers starter Chris Lambert gave up three runs and six hits in four innings.

Chone Figgins helped the Angels overcome Miguel Cabrera's home run with a little small ball. Figgins walked, stole a base and eventually scored on Mark Teixeira's ninth-inning sacrifice fly to give the Angels of Anaheim a 5-4 win against Detroit. Torii Hunter drove in three runs for Los Angeles, which reduced its magic number to clinch the AL West to eight. Cabrera hit his third home run in three days and drove in three runs for Detroit, which has lost seven of nine.

Fernando Rodney walked Figgins to lead off the ninth, with the score tied at 4.

"Walking Figgins was the kiss of death," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said.

"I just think its playing baseball," Figgins said. "My goal is to get on base, try and steal bases and score runs and let the big boys take care of business."

In the eighth inning, Cabrera hit his 31st homer with two outs off Scot Shields to tie the game. Cabrera, who has nine RBI in his last three games, has driven in 109 runs. That ties him with Minnesota's Justin Morneau for second in the AL. In addition, Cabrera's homer was the first run the Angels' bullpen allowed since Aug. 22, a span of 29 2-3 innings.

"They've been great," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia. "We've obviously looked at a lot of guys and see an immediate impact every day, especially our late inning relief."

Francisco Rodriguez pitched the ninth for his 54th save in 59 chances. The all-time record of 57 is held by Bobby Thigpen, who set it in 1990 with the Chicago White Sox. Rodriguez allowed a leadoff single to Edgar Renteria and walked Curtis Granderson with two out, but got Placido Polanco on a fielder's choice grounder to end the game.

"The Angels always find a way to get him into the game. He wants the ball," Granderson said. "Even when he gets in trouble like tonight, he find a way to get out of it."

The Angels had a successful game and their fans enjoyed it as well.
