Final Score in Los Angeles of Anaheim: Angels 6, Dodgers 3
Ervin Santana struck out 6 in 7 innings as he became the 4th Angels starting pitcher this season to beat the Dodgers. Only Joe Saunders missed out on facing the blue boys and will not be the SP over the next two nights. Bobby Abreu blasted a 3-Run HR in the 6th and Kevin Frandsen hit a 2-Run Double in the 7th for some late scoring that made a loser out of Clayton Kershaw.
The Abreu blast was the big blow but Howie Kendrick broke the tie with a single in the next inning. While Frandsen's insurance was nice, what was best about that inning was that the 2nd out of it was Juan Rivera getting picked off of 3B - but that downer of a situation was mitigated by four straight Angels hits: Jeff Mathis, a Brandon Wood single to right, the Howie base hit and the Franny mash down the line.
Tell me you want invest in THIS fangraphs stock market:
Angels are 4-0 against the Dodgers and remain 3.5 games behind the bankrupt Texas Cakewalkers.

Brandon Wood for POTG

I'll second that.
Part of two huge rallies that he’d normally have stomped and spit on.
AlanFalcon - June 22, 2010
definitely
The biggest thing is that he actually got an extra base hit.
ryanfea - June 22, 2010
Wood's hit was a single
He later went 1st to third on Howie’s hit.
I want to vote Woody as player of the game. On base and scored twice, if he makes an out in the 7th that 4 run rally never exists. And his great stop and glove flip to start a DP prevented a bullpen meltdown. When that ball left the bat I was sure it was going to be a hit. Just a great play. He looked like Ozzie Smith for one play, after looking like Rafael Ramirez the day before.

As long as we're all correcting each other...
It was a three run rally that wouldn’t have existed.
AlanFalcon - June 23, 2010
You're right
Dumbass Rivera didn’t wind up scoring. Wonder why.
RallyMonkey5 - June 23, 2010
Right
I got mixed up between Wood and Frandsen for some reason
ryanfea - June 23, 2010

SenorChuckles - June 23, 2010
Haven't we learned
Martin is no to be taken lightly when we are on the base paths.
OCangels - June 22, 2010
Hard to choose between Santana and Bobby in this game.
I chose Bobby because of the home run.
opiejeanne - June 23, 2010
It's gotta be Bobby
he turned the whole game around with that 3 run homer!
kbrown2225 - June 23, 2010
Texas Cakewalkers
That is classic, who do they play after the Pirates and Astros, Brownie Troop 14?
kbrown2225 - June 23, 2010
So basically our awseomness went off the charts last night.
Commander_Nate - June 23, 2010
Pregame is wrong.
The pre-game pick was “will the game last longer than 2:50”?
According to the official box: http://www.mlb.com/news/boxscore.jsp?gid=2010_06_22_lanmlb_anamlb_1
The time of game was 2:52.
red floyd - June 23, 2010
Never mind. I had it backwards.
