too. A well-played game between the Los Angeles Angels and Baltimore Orioles was
ultimately turned on one swing by Nick Markakis, who has made a habit of
delivering the big hit in pressure situations this season. Miguel Gonzalez
allowed one run over eight innings and Markakis hit a tiebreaking, two-run
single in the seventh inning to give Baltimore a 3-2 victory Tuesday night.
Light-hitting Ryan Flaherty contributed two well-timed hits for the Orioles,
whose third straight victory put them a season-high nine games over .500
(37-28). Baltimore will seek to complete a three-game sweep on Wednesday
afternoon. With the score tied at 1, the Orioles used two-out infield hits by
Danny Valencia, Steve Pearce and Flaherty to load the bases in the seventh.
Left-hander Scott Downs was then brought in to face Markakis, who lined a single
to centre for a 3-1 lead. "You want to be in those situations," said Markakis,
whos now batting .346 with 10 RBIs when there are two outs and runners in
scoring position. "Ive faced Downs enough to know what hes going to do up there.
He tries to sink the ball in on leftys hands and he does a good job of it. I was
just looking for a ball up in the zone. "Anything up that I could reach, I was
swinging. He left one up over the plate, I put a good swing on it and we scored
two runs." Markakis also made two fine plays in right field, third baseman Manny
Machado made several fine pickups and first baseman Chris Davis snagged a
smoking line drive that began an unassisted double play. But Angels centre
fielder Peter Bourjos made the defensive play of the night, robbing J.J. Hardy
of a two-run homer in the first inning. After retreating toward the warning
track, Bourjos pressed his body against the wall with a perfectly timed leap,
stuck his glove well over the 7-foot barrier and caught the ball. "When fans
come to a game, thats what they expect -- good defence, hitting and good
pitching," Markakis said. "You saw that tonight, and it was a good ballgame."
Especially for the Orioles. Los Angeles lost its fourth in a row despite getting
a solid outing from left-hander Jason Vargas and a home run by Mike Trout that
travelled an estimated 448 feet. "Both guys were throwing the ball well," Angels
manager Mike Scioscia said. "I really liked the way Jason Vargas pitched
tonight. Three infield hits in the seventh inning kind of set the table for them
and they got the big hit from Markakis." Vargas (5-4) allowed three runs, seven
hits and a walk in 6 2-3 sharp innings. The loss ended the left-handers
five-game winning streak -- a run that started with a shutout of Baltimore on
May 3. "That happens when you leave runners on base," Vargas said. "Granted, the
balls werent hit that well." Howie Kendrick had two hits for Los Angeles, which
has dropped nine of 11. Gonzalez (4-2) gave up four hits, walked one and struck
out five. Jim Johnson got two outs in the ninth before Josh Hamilton doubled and
scored on a single by Albert Pujols. Johnson then struck out Mark Trumbo to earn
his 23rd save, and third in three games. Poised to throw his first career
complete game, Gonzalez was removed by manager Buck Showalter after throwing 96
pitches. Asked if he wanted to go nine innings, Gonzalez said, "That would have
been fun. But Buck knows what hes doing, and J.J. did a good job finishing the
game." Trout put the Angels up 1-0 in the fourth with his 12th home run, the
second in two nights. Its the ninth time in his career hes homered in successive
games. In the bottom half, Hardy was thwarted in a second straight at-bat. After
being victimized earlier by Bourjos, Hardy popped a foul toward the seats in
left. As Trout prepared to make the catch, a fan wearing a Trout jersey stuck
his glove in the way. The ball bounced off the fans mitt and landed on the
ground, but third base umpire Joe West called Hardy out because of fan
interference. Held to two hits through five innings, the Orioles pulled even in
the sixth. No. 9 hitter Flaherty singled and Markakis followed with a single
that momentarily handcuffed Bourjos for an error, putting runners at second and
third. Manny Machado followed with an RBI grounder, providing Baltimore with its
first run against Vargas in 15 innings this season. NOTES: Machado extended his
hitting streak to nine games with a first-inning single before being picked off
first base by Angels C Chris Iannetta. ... Baltimores Chris Davis ended an
0-for-16 skid with an infield hit in the first inning, although replays showed
he was out at first. ... Jason Hammel (1-3, 7.33 ERA at home) starts for the
Orioles in the series finale Wednesday. Jerome Williams will be on the mound for
L.A. ... Trouts eight homers against Baltimore are his most against any
opponent.
