| The Los Angeles Angels came out swinging and never let up, scoring 5 runs in each the first and third innings en route to a 14-0 humiliation of the New York Yankees and the American League pennant. Once again, Torii Hunter brought the biggest bat, homering twice and doubling. His 8 home runs in 8 playoff games is among the historically great post-seasons. Starter Joe Saunders dominated Yankee bats for his second win in the playoffs, yielding only 5 hits and one walk in his complete game victory. Angels players to a man talked about his the memory of their deceased teammate, Nick Adenhart, a young pitcher killed in a car crash, has contributed to their inspired run through the AL playoffs. |
