A small town team, looking as though they are beaten, suddenly become the ’28 Yankees. The unlikely mashers; Kotchman with 5 hits, Kendrick with three doubles, 4 hits total, Matthews with 2 walks, a single and an RBI and light hitting catcher Jeff Mathis had 4 hits, a Grand Slam Home Run and 6 RBI’s total. All taking place on the home field… of the Twilight Zone.
The Angels padded their AL West lead to 10 games over Oakland with a season-high 19-hit attack as they beat the Indians 14-11. The Angels’ 10-game margin is their largest since Aug. 16, 1995, when they had a 10 1/2-game cushion.
It was the first time in Angels history that three players each had four or more hits in the same game. Mathis added a two-run double in the sixth and Kendrick capped the Angels’ scoring binge with a two-run single in the seventh.
