Final Score: Angels 11, Orioles 4

Chime in below if you believe someone was left off the POTG poll!

Looks like I wasn't the only one who was having fun today! Certainly the angels made this game quite a fun one.
Angels fall into a 4-0 deficit, only to start a rally of unanswered runs!

By the 5th we creep up to a 1 run deficit,
By the 7th we take the lead (thanks to a ball that somehow found its way inbetween two Orioles)
And when we hit the 8th, the Angels never looked back! (Wasn't that homerun by Vladimir Guerrero a beaut!)

What better way to cap off the 4th than with a win in your pocket and some fireworks?

I was glad to see both Rivera and Vladdy come back with clutch hits....

especially after they both killed rally’s with their GIDP’s………..thats the kind of approach the whole team needs to have……….if you screw up one AB try to make the next one count for something positive……

Nice job boys.
