Thursday, April 15, 2004Series Review
Game 1 (4/13)- SEA 5, ANA 7 Escobar struggled through 6 innings, but managed to keep the Halos within striking distance. M's starter Joel Pineiro also struggled and was pounded in the 5th and 6th innings. The Angels continued their offensive onslaught, scoring 3 more runs in the bottom of the 7th. Rodriguez and Percival locked it down late for the victory- the fourth straight over Seattle. Game 2 (4/14)- SEA 5, ANA 6 Ramon Ortiz started strong, but the wheels came off in the 4th. Seattle scored 4 runs in the middle innings to make it 5-4 Angels lead. Percival was unable to hold the lead in the ninth when he allowed Bloomquist to score. He then worked out of a jam with no outs and runners on second and third, retiring Olerud, Martinez and Boone. He was credited with the win when pinch runner Chone Figgins scored on a DaVannon sac-fly in the bottom of the inning. Game 3 (4/15)- SEA 6, ANA 2 Ryan Franklin and John Lackey had a good pitchers duel going until the sixth inning. The Angels had jumped out to an early two-run lead off of a Kennedy homerun, but in the 6th John Lackey fell apart. He allowed six runs in the inning, and that was all she wrote for the Halos. Franklin continued to dominate, going 8 innings while allowing just 4 hits. Series MVP- Tim Salmon- Salmon showed signs that he's coming out of his early-season slump, going 4 for 11 (.364) with 1 HR, 2 2B, and 4 RBI. Not a whole lot of competition for MVP this series. Series Goat- Troy Glaus- Troy didn't play in any of the three games against Seattle because of a "tweeked" hamstring suffered in Texas. No one really had a bad series. G-String Watch- 10 for 33 (.303), 1 HR, 3 2B, 4 RBI |
