LAst Night's Action: Angels Walk The Line. A Lot.
Angels 18, Orioles 6 - Anaheim and Baltimore have combined for a whopping 39 runs in the past two game. The Halos had 18 last night, thanks to 13 walks and 3 errors given to them by the Orioles. Baltimore was so bad on defense that their offense hammered Kelvim Escobar for 6 earned runs in 5.1 innings and he still got the W. Vladimir Guerrero went yard, as did Brandon Wood -- for the first time in his career. The Angel's magic number is down to 9.
Dodgers 6, Padres 1 - James Loney hit a homer for the fifth time in six games and Jeff Kent hit his 20th of the season to help Los Angeles cruise to a win. The Blue Crew needed it to stay in the playoff chase. They're now two and a half back of San Diego and can get one closer today, when Dodger-turned-Padre Greg Maddux faces Padre-turned-Dodger David Wells.
Elsewhere - A high school football player drilled a 62 yard field goal. No big deal. He hit a 75 yarder in practice ... Yahoo! Sports is beating ESPN for online readership ... If you want to point fingers in the Beckham mess, Yellow Chair Sports has a solution. Blame everybody! (Yes, including Becks) ... Check out one of the greatest pranks of all time.
Today's Action - Padres @ Dodgers (7pm) ... Angels @ Baltimore (4pm) ... Galaxy @ Chivas USA (8pm).
