Anderson powers Angels over A's
Baseball Betting Lines
07/02/2008 -
Anaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Garret Anderson's two-run homer in the bottom
of the eighth inning lifted the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to a 5-3 victory
over the Oakland Athletics at Angel Stadium.
Casey Kotchman, Vladimir Guerrero and Jeff Mathis all added an RBI for the
Angels, who rebounded from Monday's 6-1 loss in the series opener and have won
two of their last three on the heels of a three-game skid.
Ervin Santana started on the hill for the Angels and allowed two runs on eight
hits with seven strikeouts in seven innings, but did not factor in the
decision.
"This is a night (in which) we pitched well, we got some late runs and came
away with a win," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia. "Garret had a nice swing
-- he felt good about it and we felt good about it."
Mark Ellis homered and scored twice for Oakland, which has lost three of its
last four games overall and after this setback sits 4 1/2 games behind the AL
West-leading Angels.
Oakland starter Rich Harden pitched five innings and surrendered two runs on
five hits with five strikeouts and like his counterpart also ended up with a
no-decision, which kept his perfect 5-0 record unblemished.
The Angels came to bat in the bottom of the eighth inning with a 3-2 deficit.
Ellis gave Oakland the one-run advantage in the top of the frame with a solo
homer, but A's reliever Alan Embree (1-3) failed to hold the lead.
The first batter Embree faced was Kotchman, who greeted him with a ground-rule
double that jumped over the right-field wall. Maicer Izturis bunted pinch-
runner Reggie Willits to third base and Guerrero's base hit tied the score.
With two outs and Guerrero on first, Anderson belted an Embree fastball deep
into the maintenance area in right field as the home crowd exploded.
"He's a fastball pitcher and I just tried to react to it," said Anderson. "He
got a pitch over the plate and I did something with it."
Francisco Rodriguez worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his league-leading 33rd save.
Oakland scored a run in both the first and second innings via RBI singles by
Bobby Crosby and Ryan Sweeney, respectively.
The hosts tied the score with a pair of runs in the home third. Gary Matthews
was hit in the back by a Harden fastball and moved to third when Howie
Kendrick followed with a double to right field. On Mathis' fly ball, Matthews
crossed the plate. Kendrick, who moved to third during the play, then scored
when Kotchman grounded out.
The bats for both teams were quiet through the middle innings and Brad Ziegler
replaced Harden to start the bottom of the sixth. Ziegler tossed
consecutive 1-2-3 half-innings and the A's then grabbed a 3-2 lead in the top
of the eighth when Ellis belted a two-out, solo home run off of Scot Shields.
Shields (4-2) picked up the win despite allowing the temporary go-ahead run.

MySportsbook.com Posts Odds on 2007 Heisman Trophy
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best odds of winning the 2007 Heisman Trophy at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
