Morales Caps Off Monumental Comeback, Angels win 9-8

Less than twenty-four hours after losing a game with one out left to get, the Angels gave the Seattle Mariners a taste of their own medicine by rallying back from a 6-0 defecit to walk-off in the ninth.  The excitement started with the Angels trailing by two in the ninth.  Maicer Izturis and Chone Figgins took walks, and Vladimir Guerrero connected with a two out double.  Mariners closer David Aardsma then intentionally walked Torii Hunter, Juan Rivera walked and Kendry Morales hit the RBI single.  The game pushes the Angels to 25-24 on the year, earning a game in the standings since Oakland defeated the Rangers today 5-4. Ervin Santana had another terrible outing today, going 5 1/3 innings allowing ten hits and eight earned-runs.  His first start back was decent, but his latest two have been absolutely awful.  The problem could very well be his velocity, which comfortably sits in the low 90’s instead of the mid 90’s he threw last year.

Well deserved day off tomorrow, then the Angels must face Blue Jays’ ace Roy Halladay on Tuesday.  If Joe Saunders can pitch as well as he has all year, we no doubt have a chance to win the ball game.
