Angels split series with Twins
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 26 - 08 - 2008

The Los Angeles Angels got RBI triples from Vladimir Guerrero and Gary Matthews Jr. in the eighth inning to rally past the Minnesota Twins 5-3 for a split of their four-game series on Sunday.
Trailing 3-0, Mark Teixeira homered in the sixth and Howie Kendrick scored on a groundout in the seventh to cut Minnesota's lead to 3-2.
Teixeira led off the eighth with a double against Denny Reyes and scored when Guerrero drove an 0-1 pitch from Jesse Crain (5-3) to center for his third triple of the season. Matthews later tripled in the go-ahead run and scored on Juan Rivera's sacrifice fly.
White Sox 6, Rays 5, 10 innings: At Chicago, Alexei Ramirez singled home the winning run in the 10th inning after A.J. Pierzynski's bizarre trip around the bases, and Chicago rallied to avoid a sweep.
Jim Thome hit his 534th homer, Carlos Quentin also connected and the White Sox tied it at 5 in the ninth on pinch-hitter Paul Konerko's two-out single off fill-in closer Dan Wheeler.
Pierzynski led off the 10th with a single against Jason Hammel (4-4), then tagged up and went to second on a flyout to center. Jermaine Dye sent a grounder toward shortstop, Pierzynski got caught in a rundown and the strange play unfolded.
Pierzynski appeared to get tagged out after falling, but second base umpire Doug Eddings signaled safe. Eddings called interference on Rays third baseman Willy Aybar, apparently ruling that he bumped the runner after a throw toward second. Replays showed that Pierzynski initiated the contact, hitting Aybar with his left elbow before falling to the ground.
Tampa Bay infielders and manager Joe Maddon argued vehemently to no avail, and Pierzynski was awarded third.
Hammel intentionally walked Thome before Ramirez singled to right.
Yankees 8, Orioles 7: At Baltimore, Robinson Cano hit the tiebreaking homer in the seventh inning after New York blew a five-run lead, and the Yankees hung on to finish a three-game sweep. Cano went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two RBIs and two runs scored. Johnny Damon hit a three-run homer and Bobby Abreu had three hits for the Yankees.
In other games it was: Red Sox 6, Blue Jays 5, 11 innings; Mariners 8, Athletics 4; Royals 7, Tigers 3; Indians 4, Rangers 3.
Feliz lifts Phillies
In Philadelphia, Pedro Feliz hit a tying RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the ninth and delivered a three-run homer with two outs in the 11th to lift the Philadelphia Phillies over the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-2 in the National League on Sunday.
The Phillies closed within a half-game of the NL East-leading New York Mets, while Los Angeles remained three games behind Arizona in the West.
After the Phillies rallied off closer Jonathan Broxton in the ninth, the Dodgers loaded the bases with no outs in the 10th against Chad Durbin (5-2), but couldn't score.
Shane Victorino led off Philadelphia's 11th with a double to left field off Joe Beimel (4-1). Victorino didn't run too hard out of the box, so left fielder Manny Ramirez played it like a routine single. But Victorino turned it on rounding first base and Ramirez had no chance to get him after lobbing a throw to the infield.
Jason Johnson entered and walked Chris Coste. Jayson Werth advanced the runners with a groundout, but pitcher Cole Hamels, batting as a pinch-hitter, popped out to second base.
Feliz hit the next pitch into the seats in left-center for his second career game-winning homer.
Elsewhere it was: Astros 6, Mets 4; Marlins 5, Diamondbacks 2; Cardinals 6, Braves 3; Cubs 6, Nationals 1; Brewers 4, Pirates 3, 12 innings; Rockies 4, Reds 3, 12 innings; Giants 7, Padres 4.
