o, Markakis, and Ichiro.

1-Anaheim Angels: RF-Vladimir Guerrero, CF-Torii Hunter, LF-Bobby Abreu

grounder that would have ended the third inning, did Lester allow a run to cross home plate, after Torii Hunter dropped a flare into left field for a single.  After that, Terry Francona’s ace in the hole shut the door on Anaheim and completely blew the Angels’ biggest bats out of the water (Lester didn’t even give up an extra-base hit).

Will Torii Hunter be able to provide another big bat to help Vladimir Guerrero carry the load?

Last season the Angels were fourth in runs scored in the American Leauge but 10th in total bases and 12th in home runs. They have done an amazing job since Mike Scioscia has been running the team of getting on base and doing the little things to score runs: they hit and run, steal bases and take the extra base whenever possible.
