摘錄自安納罕天使隊官網 Maicer Izturis hit a two-out RNIdouble in the ninth to force extra innings. Izturis later reached third with one out in the 12th but was stranded when Iose Lopez grounded into a double play, and the Halos fell a half-inning later. Jered Weaver pitched into the eighth inning for the first time in his career. A's take opener in12th; Halos need next two to stay alive Angels' hopes shrink after walk-off loss OAKLAND -- There's still tomorrow. The Angels are hanging on, barely, and are still a mathematical factor in an American League West race that is essentially over but has yet to be decided officially. So despite taking a 5-4 loss fro, the A's on Friday night and seeing their number ti elimination whittled to games in a division they've won the last two years, the Angels can still come to the park on Saturday as something other than mere caretalers gor the remaining games on the schedule. The Angels' number to elimination in the AL Wild Card was also reduced to two games, and the club is eight games back of the A's with just nine games left in the regular season. "Our backs have been against the wall for a while, and we have to get on a roll and have to continue on a roll," manager Mike Scioscia said. "We have to come out tomorrow. Our guys won't quit." It was a game in which both sides had their chances to win, but squandered opportunities. Despite hitting three homers, the A's committed two mental errors in the ninth inning with the second resulting in the tying run scoring for the Angels. An inning earlier, Scioscia allowed Jered Weaver to start the eighth even though the rookie had already logged 102 pitches. Milton Bradley followed with a two-out, tie-breaking solo homer that briefly gave the A's a lead. And neither Scioscia nor A's manager Ken Macha seemed all that interested in laying down a bunt in the late innings to get a runner into scoring position. Eric Chavez singled to lead off the ninth and was replaced by pinch-runner Antonio Perez, but Macha didn't bunt him over, and the inning ended on a double play. Garret Anderson later singled to lead off the 11th, but Scioscia allowed his Angels to swing away, and they went in order. At least Milton Bradley provided some theater when he was ejected by the home-plate umpire in the bottom of the 11th for arguing a called third strike. So it was left to Marco Scutaro to provide the moment of the night, and the shortstop gave the A's their seventh straight come-from-behind win and 46th this season when he launched a deep fly ball to left-center with one out in the 12th that rendered a five-man infield moot for the game-winning hit off Angels reliever Francisco Rodriguez. With runners on the corners, Scioscia brought center fielder Chone Figgins in as the fifth infielder near second base, but Scutaro drilled an 0-2 pitch from Rodriguez that landed on the warning track and put the Angels' season on life support. "I've faced him many times before. I was trying to get a fastball away, but he got on top of it pretty good," Rodriguez said. "Bottom line, that was my fault, but we have to turn the page and forget that and come back [on Saturday]." Bobby Kielty opened the inning in a pinch-hitting role for Perez. Kielty jumped on a slider for a leadoff double into the right-field corner and went to third on Jay Payton's ground ball to the right side. After Nick Swisher was walked intentionally, Scutaro then hit the game-winner. Swisher, Eric Chavez and Bradley all hit solo homers as Brad Halsey (5-4) picked up the win in relief; Rodriguez (2-3) took the loss. "Our guys didn't quit but the bottom line is we lost the ball game," Scioscia said. "We did a lot of things right on the field but they played better and finished it off on the field." The A's got on the board in the bottom of the fourth when Jason Kendall walked to lead off the inning and Mark Kotsay followed with an RBI double to left-center for a 1-0 lead. In the fifth, Swisher put the A's up, 2-0, when he jumped on a 1-2 pitch from Weaver and drilled his 33rd home run of the year. The Angels got two back in the top of the sixth when Figgins singled to center and stole second to lead off the inning. Maicer Izturis then got aboard on an infield single and after Orlando Cabrera's sacrifice advanced both runners a base, Vladimir Guerrero was walked intentionally to load the bases. Juan Rivera followed with an RBI single to center and after Robb Quinlan popped up to the left side of the infield, Anderson lined an RBI single to left to score Izturis and tie the score at 2 but Jay Payton threw out Guerrero at the plate to end the inning. Howie Kendrick jumped on an 0-1 pitch from Barry Zito to lead off the seventh with his fourth a home run, a long fly that reached several rows back in the left-field bleachers at McAfee Coliseum, to give the Angels a 3-2 lead, but Chavez hit the equalizer in the bottom half of the inning on a 3-1 pitch from Weaver for his 21st homer this season. Bradley hit a solo homer in the bottom of the eighth, but the Angels tied the game in the top of the ninth when Izturis dropped a shallow pop-fly double on which Payton nearly made a circus diving catch. But the ball squirted free and Payton, while on ground, made three stabs at the ball but could not find the handle and pinch-runner Erick Aybar scored from first. Earlier in the inning, Payton and Scutaro allowed a pop fly to drop between them but got a force out at second base Weaver allowed all four runs on five hits and a walk with four strikeouts over 7 2/3 innings, while Zito allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks with six strikeouts over 7 2/3 innings but neither starter figured into the decision. "I felt like I threw the ball well but a couple of pitches they hit out of the park," Weaver said. "But there isn't much you can to but shake your head." 雙方攻守數據 LA Angels (82-71) Lost 1 Oakland 5, LA Angels 4 Today's Boxes 9/22/06 PHI 5, FLA 2 BAL 7, MIN 3 HOU 6, STL 5 BOS 7, TOR 1 CIN 4, CHC 2 WSH 3, NYM 2 NYY 4, TB 1 COL 6, ATL 4 MIL 13, SF 12 DET 7, KC 3 TEX 12, CLE 4 SEA 11, CWS 6 SD 6, PIT 2 LAD 2, ARI 0 Oakland (90-63) Won 4 September 22, 2006 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 R H E LA Angels 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 0 1 0 0 0 4 10 2 Oakland 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 5 8 1 Standings thru 9/22/06 | Gameday | Angels Stats | Athletics Stats LA Angels AB R H RBI BB SO LOB AVG Izturis, 3B 5 1 2 1 1 1 0 .292 Cabrera, SS 4 0 0 0 0 1 1 .279 Guerrero, RF 4 0 0 0 2 1 0 .324 Rivera, LF 6 0 2 1 0 1 2 .296 Quinlan, 1B 2 0 0 0 1 0 3 .318 a-Kennedy, PH-2B 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 .271 Anderson, DH 4 0 2 1 1 0 2 .282 Kendrick, 2B-1B 5 1 3 1 0 0 3 .277 Napoli, C 3 0 0 0 0 3 3 .221 b-Aybar, PH 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 .258 Molina, C 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 .245 Figgins, CF 5 1 1 0 0 2 3 .261 Totals 41 4 10 4 6 10 19 a-Walked for Quinlan in the 8th. b-Grounded into a forceout for Napoli in the 9th.
