With the hometown crowd on the edge of their seats, Atlanta Braves came from

behind to top Minnesota Twins, 5 to 4.



Atlanta erupted with the game winning runs in the 9th inning with 3 runs

utilizing 3 base hits. Kevin Youkilis opened up the scoring as he lofted a

solo-blast 'downtown'. Nick Swisher came next and he drew a walk. After an

out was recorded, Ray Durham stepped in and he doubled. Jeff Davanon

followed, but he was set down on strikes. Grady Sizemore stepped into the

box and doubled. Atlanta had 10 hits for the afternoon while Minnesota had

6.



Josh Johnson(9-2) got the win allowing no runs in 1 inning. Todd Jones(1-3)

suffered the loss in relief. He surrendered 3 runs and 2 hits in 1/3 of an

inning.



Todd Melton was all smiles after the ballgame, 'It sure was looking pretty dim

there for a while, but our guys never gave up - and neither did our fans -

they kept cheering us on. What a sweet win!'

Halos Flying High


Anaheim (AP) - The Angels are having a fine season so far sporting a 65-34 won-loss record this year. Three big reasons for their success is their starting pitching. Brett Myers is 12-3, Noah Lowry is 11-4 and Jarod Washburn is 10-4. Throw in a highly successful closer in Joe Nathan (0.91 ERA wih 16 saves) and one can see why the Angels are flying high this season.

Pujols Putting Up Big Numbers Again


Philadelphia (AP) - Albert Pujols is having another big season for the Fightin' Phils. In 96 games so far this season, Pujols is hitting .337 with a league leading 35 homers and 86 ribbies. Philadelphia is in third place in the Aaron Division with a 53-43 mark - just five games behind division leading Chicago.

Left fielder Alfonso Soriano blasted 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the Anaheim



Angels staged a dramatic comeback over the Los Angeles Dodgers by a score of



7 to 5 at AT&T Park.







Anaheim came through with the game-winning runs in the 9th inning when they



tallied 4 runs on 4 hits. The crucial at-bat was provided by Soriano who



deflated the mood of the partisan fans when he clubbed a three-run home run.



Anaheim ended up with 14 hits for the game while Los Angeles had 10.







The win went to Steve Kline(3-0) who allowed no runs in 1 and 1/3 innings. Joe



Nathan earned his 15th save. The loss was charged to Todd Coffey(1-1) in



relief. He pitched 1/3 of an inning and surrendered 3 hits and no



walks.







'We just kept swinging the bats and didn't give up,' Soriano said. 'If you



just keep trying good things can happen!'
