Oakland manager Jack Mudd said he was considering using a three man rotation. "Billy Martin did it in the early '80's and those guys all stayed perfectly healthy. The only one I would really be worried about getting injured is Derek Lowe, since he looks more like a pro bowler than a pitcher."

Troy Glaus had 4 hits and 4 RBI as the Anaheim Angels smashed the overmatched
Atlanta Braves, 16 to 1.
 
Glaus enjoyed a fine evening at the plate.  He blasted a two-run home run in
the 1st inning, stroked a base-hit in the 3rd inning, laced a base-knock in
the 4th inning and doubled which was good for two runs in the 7th inning.
Anaheim provided plenty of action in the 7th inning when they had 8 runs on 9
hits.  Atlanta was out-hit by Anaheim, 20 hits to 6.  
 
Seth McClung(1-0) got the win allowing no runs in 7 innings. Edwin
Jackson(0-2) was given the loss.  He allowed 10 hits and 4 walks in 5 and 2/3
innings.  
 
'Some days it just all comes together, and this was one of them' Glaus said.
'I've been seeing the ball pretty well lately.'

Dunn Powers Marlins to 3-2 Series Lead

2011-07-07T21:09:00.004-04:00

Florida wins 2 of 3 on the West Coast and will take a 3-2 series lead back to Miami. The Marlins rallied to win Game 3 against Anaheim co-closer Joe Nathan, then won a super-ugly Game 4 before the Angels bounced back to stay alive.

GAME 3

Marlins 9, Angels 5 (Anaheim took a 5-2 lead when Troy Glaus' HR sparked a 3-run 4th. But Mike Lowell hit a 2-run shot for the Marlins in the top of the 6th, then the Angels squandered a 1st and 3rd, no-out chance in the home half. Florida won it with five in the 8th. Adam Dunn's 3-run blast off Nathan was the big blow)

GAME 4

Marlins 21, Angels 9 (Florida slugged eight homers, including two each by Dunn and Victor Martinez. Chuck James was the sacrificial lamb for Anaheim as he yielded 14 runs and 20 hits in 6 innings)

GAME 5

Angels 2, Marlins 1 (Anaheim pitching, led by starter Matt Chico and closer Takashi Saito, shut down the thundering Florida bats after Hunter Pence homered in the 1st. The Angels scored their only runs in the 3rd on an RBI single by Bobby Abreu and an RBI double by Alfonso Soriano)

Seattle Qualifies For #8 Seed

2011-07-01T21:19:00.004-04:00

Kansas City traveled to Seattle for the second elimination game. Game #163 for Kansas City and #164 for Seattle.

Brian Bannister started for Kansas City while Roy Oswalt took the mound for Seattle in the deciding game. Seattle Manager John Ferraro was saving Oswalt for the first game of the playoffs but was forced to treat this as the first game of the playoffs after losing to Anaheim in the first elimination game.

Kansas City jumped on Oswalt early by scoring 3 runs in the first on 5 hits. After 4 innings, KC held a 3-0 lead and was out hitting Seattle 7 to 2.
Bannister then tired in the 5th inning after allowing 3 hits and 2 walks but Seattle only scored once by grounded into a double play and leaving the bases loaded.

Seattle tied the game in the 7th by adding 2, including a solo home run by Yadier Molina off Rudy Seanez.

Kansas City then fell apart in the 8th inning with Casey Janssen on the mound. With 1 run in and men on first and second, Janssen threw a wild pitch to advance the runners. Molina then hit a single that scored both runners when Hanley Ramirez threw the cut off throw wildly.

With a 6-3 going into the 9th, 2 men on and the tying run at the plate, Hanley Ramirez struck out looking for the third time on a Francisco Rodriguez 98mph fastball to end the game and the season for Kansas City. Ramirez, the first overall pick in the 2006 draft was able to manage two hit when he actually swung the bat.

The star of the game was Jose Reyes who was 3 for 5 with a stolen base, 2 runs and stellar defense. Russ Springer improved to 7-1 with the win. He struck out 4 in 1 2/3 IP.

Seattle moves on to face top seed Atlanta in the playoffs. It is a surprise match up for the Mariners as they didn't expect to make the playoffs. They traded two strong 2010 pitchers in John Maine and Kelvim Escobar to Atlanta for some players to assist in the future. But Ryan Braun fell to the Mariners at #4 in the draft and they acquired Albert Pujols to provide protection for Alex Rodriguez. As a result, the Mariners had three players with 40+ homeruns to make up for the weakened pitching staff.

Angels Secure 7th Seed

2011-06-25T10:08:00.005-04:00

Reigning champion Anaheim at Seattle.....

Winner clinches the #7 seed in the playoffs while the loser hosts Kansas City for the right to clinch a playoff birth. Kason Gabbard took the mound for the Angels while Roger Clemens had the start for the Mariners.

Gabbard struggled a little early allowing 1 run in the first inning and loaded the bases in the 2nd but pitched out of it. Gabbard had his manager worried and Blaise took him out after recording 10 outs and the score tied 1-1.

After Gabbard came out, the Angels bats heated up. They scored 3 in the 5th, 2 in the 6th, 3 more in the 7th and another in the 8th to take a 10-1 lead. The Mariners bullpen could not stop the mutiny as all five pitchers allowed a run.

Final score: Anahiem 10 Seattle 3.
Roger Clemens took the loss to fall to 8-4 while Oscar Villareal earned the win even though he allowed 3 hits in 2/3 IP.

Angels Win in Six

2010-11-10T20:55:00.002-05:00

Anaheim (AP) - Corey Patterson was an excellent No. 9 hitter for the Angels all season. He had almost been an after-thought in a deal that brought Bobby Abreu to Anaheim in the offseason. But he had been relatively quiet in the postseason (2 RBIs) until the crucial Game 6 vs. Minnesota. His 2-run HR in the 9th snapped a 4-4 tie and lifted the Angels to their first MSL title. Also in that game, Patterson tripled home a run and threw a runner out at the plate.

Congrats to Bob Petersen on guiding the Twins to a fine season. We had fun playing a very hard-fought series. The Angels were thankful that it didn't go a seventh game because waiting in the wings was Johan Santana, who had beaten Anaheim twice and was 5-0 in the postseason.

GAME 1
Minnesota 4, Anaheim 2
Johan Santana, with relief help from Todd Jones, thwarts the Angels. Carlos Lee drives home all four Twins runs; the big blow being a 3-run HR in the 5th. The Angels hit into three double plays.

GAME 2
Anaheim 12, Minnesota 8
The Angels rallied from a 6-3 deficit against Roy Halladay. Down 7-6 in the 6th, Anaheim bounced back on a 2-run HR by Bobby Abreu. Bengie Molina's grand slam in the 8th added insurance runs.

GAME 3
Anaheim 6, Minnesota 2
The Angels snapped a 1-1 tie with three runs in the 6th. Alfonso Soriano hit a solo HR and Abreu added a 2-run double. Noah Lowry allowed 5 hits in 6 innings for the victory.

GAME 4
Minnesota 2, Anaheim 1
Santana struck out 8 and tossed a 7-hitter for his 5th victory of the postseason. Aubrey Huff hit a HR in the 1st and Ichiro added an RBI single in the 5th. Molina pulled the Angels within 2-1 with an RBI single in the 7th. But the losers again hit into three DPs, including one by Josh Barfield with the bases loaded an one out in the 3rd.

GAME 5
Anaheim 4, Minnesota 3
The Twins jumped to a 2-0 lead in the 2nd on a Huff HR and an RBI double Tony Graffanino. But the Angels responded in the 3rd on an RBI by Abreu and a 2-run single by Adam Lind. Abreu's RBI double made it 4-2 in the 4th. Brett Myers, who allowed only 5 hits in 8 innings, maintained that lead until giving away to Joe Nathan in the 9th. But, Aaron Hill doubled, went to third on a groundout, and scored on a wild pitch to make it 4-3. Corey Koskie followed with a single, but Jack Wilson hit into a DP to end the game.

GAME 6
Anaheim 6, Minnesota 4
The Angels scored three times in the 3rd on a 2-run single by Mike Lamb and a sac fly by Carlos Delgado. Corey Patterson's RBI triple upped the lead to 4-0 in the 4th. But the Twins started to chip away on RBIs by Hill in the 4th and Wilson in the 7th. But after Wilson's hit, he tried to score from first on a double by Hill -- only to be nailed at the plate by Patterson. Set-up ace Takashi Saito came on in the 8th for the Angels, but was greeted by solo homers from David Ortiz and Carlos Lee. With the game tied going into the bottom of the 9th, pinch-hitter Maicer Izturis led off with a walk. Patterson was asked to sacrifice, but with a two-strike count, the bunt was taken off. And, he responded with his Series-winning HR.

Angels Eliminate Nationals in Five Games

2010-10-30T16:09:00.003-04:00

The Angels advance to their first-ever World Series by defeating the Washington Nationals 4 games to 1.

Congrats to Nationals coach Jim Colquhoun on a great season ... this was a hard-fought series, but Angels' bats were a little too much in the end.

GAME 1
Anaheim 3, Washington 2
The only low-scoring game of the series. Endy Chavez's 2-run single sparked a 3-run second for the Angels. The Nationals stranded the bases loaded in the 7th, and Joe Nathan completed the save in the 9th.

GAME 2
Washington 10, Anaheim 7
The Angels blew a 5-1 lead in the wildest game of the series. Carlos Beltran, who finished with 5 RBIs, hit his second HR, a 3-run blast, in the 12th. The Nationals, who tied it when Beltran and Scott Rolen homered in the 8th, appeared to have the game sewn up in the 11th after Matt Holliday's 2-run shot. But Alfonso Soriano extended the game with a 2-out, 2-run HR in the bottom half.

GAME 3
Anaheim 9, Washington 5
The Angels snapped a 2-2 with three in the 3rd on a 2-run HR by Mark Teixeira and a solo blast by Carlos Delgado. They added three in the 7th and one in the 8th for enough cushion to absorb a 3-run Nationals 9th.

GAME 4
Anaheim 8, Washington 5
Josh Barfield homered twice as the Angels took a commanding 3-1 series lead. The Nationals had taken a 4-3 lead in the third on homers by Rolen and Beltran (who again hit two). But a Barfield homer triggered a 5-run 5th that also featured RBIs by Teixeira, Troy Glaus, Maicer Izturis, and Chavez.

GAME 5
Anaheim 8, Washington 5
Bengie Molina homered in his first three at-bats, driving in 5 runs to spark the series clincher. A 2-run HR by Holliday pulled the Nationals within two runs (7-5) in the 5th, but Soriano added an insurance run with an RBI double in the 8th, and Tim Saito closed it out with a 2-inning save.

Twins Eliminate Braves

2010-10-20T19:25:00.002-04:00

Johan Santana and Roy Halladay combined for four playoff wins as the upstart Minnesota Twins knocked out #1 seed Atlanta in their semi-final playoff series. A recap of the series:

MIN 5, ATL 1 - Santana fires a two-hitter while fanning nine; Ortiz drives in three runs.

MIN 7, ATL 3 - Halladay goes the distance while Braves' John Smoltz gives up 10 hits and 7 runs in 4 innings.

ATL 13, MIN 1 - Lackey fires five-hitter; Braves score 10 runs in 5th inning - Harang takes the loss. Atlanta's 13 runs were scored off only 7 hits.

MIN 3, ATL 2 - Santana strikes out 13 in 8+ innings; David Ortiz hits his 5th post season homer.

MIN 3, ATL 2 - Carlos Lee hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the 8th to break a 1-1 tie. Halladay scattered nine hits for the win.

The Twins will be making their first appearance in the Millennium World Series and will play the winner of the Anaheim-Washington match.

#1 Seed Braves Advance

2010-10-15T08:26:00.003-04:00

The Diamondbacks had the high-powered Braves on the ropes after winning Game 3 to take a 2-1 series lead, but Atlanta showed why they won a Millennium League record 110 games in the regular season by winning the pivotal Game 4 by the score of 3-2, then capturing Games 5 and 6 by a combined score of 16-6.

Atlanta starter Mike Mussina was the series MVP by winning both of his starts -- including a 7-0 Game 5 shutout win -- while posting a sparkling 0.55 ERA over 16 innings of work.

Braves closer Brian Fuentes recorded a pair of saves, and Jorge Posada hit a robust .400 for the series.

It's now on to the second round, where the matchups will be as follows:

(4) Minnesota vs. (1) Atlanta
(3) Washington vs. (2) Anaheim

Alfonso Soriano and the Anaheim Angels advanced to the second round by defeating the Toronto Blue Jays 4 games to 1 in a Quarter-Finals Playoff Series.

Nats Advance Behind Clemens

2010-10-01T18:12:00.005-04:00

The Washington Nationals defeated the Chicago White Sox 4-1 in the first round of the 2006 Millennium playoffs.

The story of the series was Washington's pitching, which completely neutralized Chicago's potent bats. Coming in with the second-ranked offense in the league, the White Sox hit just .200 (they hit .285 during the regular season), and were stymied at every turn by a Nationals staff that was led by starter Roger Clemens.

Clemens didn't allow an earned run in 11 innings of work, and won the decisive fifth game. Closer Trevor Hoffman was just as dominant, picking up three saves.

Overall, the Nationals posted a 1.84 ERA against the hard-luck Sox.
