Guerrero homers in first game back, Angels beat Os

However the story of this season gets written up, one part of it that has probably been underestimated is Joe Saunders' sudden suck; after April, he's got a 4.61 ERA, and 25 walks in 70.1 IP (prior to today).

Still 9-4 Angels, but Hamilton has looked good and maybe Kinsler can get something going. On the other hand, Millwood has been less than impressive in his last two starts, giving up 13 earned runs in 11 1/3 innings.
