LAst Night's Action: Angels Blast Indians

Caught red handed.Angels 8, Indians 0 - Anaheim's anemic offense finally looked hungry with a run total matching their previous three games combined. They scored eight against Cleveland, five coming in just one inning. Gary Matthews Jr. smacked a three-run homer in the third inning outburst and Jose Molina stole home in the next frame. Kelvim Escobar pitched a complete game shutout, notching seven strikeouts and giving up no walks. The Angels are now off to Texas for a four game series.

Marlins 3, Dodgers 0 - This was as frustrating as losses come for Derek Lowe. He pitched a gem into the bottom of the ninth, striking out six and allowing only four hits. On Lowe's 94th pitch, Josh Willingham sent a three run shot out of the park. The other side of the boxscore was just as impressive. Sergio Mitre allowed only three hits through eight innings and Taylor Tankersly hurled a perfect ninth for the Marlins. The teams split the four game series. Los Angeles will return home to start a three game set against the Reds on Friday.

Beckham Watch - Becks might not be able to lay claim to the greatest goal ever, because this one is unreal. At least the media will focus on the new digs and new doo.

Elsewhere - Everything that's fit to print about sports ... Things that barely fit on Cleveland cheerleaders.
