First off great job Mike Scioscia. Lineup changes were certainly needed, and putting Casey Kotchman at the 2 and Maicer Izturis at the 3 was a great move, especially after Kotchman doubled and Mighty Maicer bunted him over.
Two awesome plays really gave the Halos the victory tonight, one on offense, one on defense. Of course, Garret Anderson, who had been something like 3 for 19 against Alan Embree, hit the two-run homer that gave the Angels the lead and had as many RBIs (2) in the game as all the Angels did in the past 4 games. On defense, though, Kotchman made a terrific diving stop on a grounder with a man on third and threw from his back to get the runner. That would have given the Athletics the lead in the sixth.
Tomorrow is the series finale, with Joe Saunders on the mound. It would be a great win to keep the Halos' 7 series winning streak against AL teams.
