Bengie Molina went deep and scored 3 times as the Anaheim Angels staged a
dramatic comeback over the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 9 to 7 at Miller
Park.
Anaheim won the game with a rally in the top of the 9th inning scoring 4
runners on 2 hits. The critical plate appearance was by Jeff Davanon who
silenced the crowd when he doubled plating three runs. Due to a poorly
pitched ballgame, scoring in 6 different innings was still not enough for
Pittsburgh to come away with the victory.
Steve Reed(2-6) allowed 1 run in 1 and 2/3 innings, and picked up the victory.
Francisco Rodriguez(2-7) absorbed the loss in relief. Although losing the
contest, he whiffed 4 batters in 1 and 2/3 innings.
After the game, it took a long while before Mike Rescigno emerged from his
office. In a subdued tone he answered only a couple of questions. He
concluded with, 'Fellows, sorry I'm not in a very talkative mood this
afternoon, as I think you'll understand. I'm sure you'll find the banter a
lot more light-hearted over in the Anaheim locker room.'
