Angels Inch Closer In ALCS Against Yankees
Los Angeles closer Brian Fuentes made Angles fans hearts collectively skip a beat on Thursday night, but the 34 year old left got the job done retiring Nick Swisher to end a ninth inning threat and get the save.
With their Rally Monkey doing his best work in years, the Angels sent the AL championship series back to New York with a 7-6 win in Anaheim.
Kendry Morales drove in the go-ahead run with a two-out single in the seventh inning and the bull-pen held on.
Saturday night in Yankee Stadium the Game 6 projective starters will be Andy Pettitte for New York and Joe Saunders for the Angels.
For the Yankees, Pettitte may have been the first Yankees starter this postseason to allow more than two runs in a game, but Andy is a big game pitcher and the Yanks will be comfortable having him on the mound.
