http://0rz.tw/fb2IY Angels make the right call with Saunders 12:19 AM PDT on Sunday, June 3, 2007 By DAN WEBER The Press-Enterprise ANAHEIM - They're 27-7 this season when they score first. And lately even when they don't, such as the past two nights, they win anyway. They won Friday, with baseball's winningest pitcher. Then the Angels came back to beat the Orioles again Saturday, this time by a 7-4 score, with call-up Joe Saunders pitching. And just as he was after his previous win here April 20, Saunders is on his way back to the minors. （桑又是贏球後下放） "It's easier this time," said Saunders, of the trip back down. （幹，真心酸） Figure http://0rz.tw/ba2HK Catcher Mike Napoli, who went 2 for 3 with three runs scored, gives the Angels a 5-2 lead in the third inning with a two-run homer. （小胖打HR玉照） He was being optioned to make room for Garret Anderson, activated after the game and starting in left field today. （被丟下去是要使用安大叔） "You don't really want to know it's coming," said Saunders (3-0, 2.22 ERA), after allowing four hits over six innings in a hang-tough effort that seemed more competitive than crisp in his start for Bartolo Colon. "But you know it's coming." （林背投這麼好還是被丟下去） The Angels right now, winners of seven of their past nine games and 5 ½ games ahead of Seattle in the AL West, seem to be making all the right moves. （記者有看 standings 和 game wrap） Today they'll start Anderson in left, moving leadoff hitter Reggie Willits and his .326 batting average to right, allowing Vladimir Guerrero (.349) a day of partial rest for his legs as the designated hitter. （Reggie! Reggie! Reggie） And Saunders will be gone after getting to stay for the day and work out with the Angels. （沒有愛） "I told Joe maybe he's got to lose a game to stay," Angels manager Mike Scioscia joked. "Joe came up and did a heck of a job for us." （笑話不好笑） So did Mike Napoli, with a big two-run home run to give the Angels a 5-2 lead in the third. （記者有看圖說） "It's always good to get those early runs," Scioscia said. "But it was good to come back with three right away" as the Angels did in the second after the Orioles got their first two. （說蝦覺得打線很好） Credit three hitters in the bottom of the order there, as Erick Aybar, Napoli and Shea Hillenbrand singled behind Gary Matthews Jr.'s walk. Then give Figgins, who has eight hits the past three games with his two Saturday, some credit as well. （愛拔、0800076666、謝海倫、人類生長激素、腿） But maybe it's just being at home, where the Angels have now run off to a 21-8 mark, best in baseball and best home start in franchise history. That leaves the Angels (35-22) just one win away from the best overall start in club history. （敲條中） Or maybe you can credit the Angels' season-high seven walks or the five stolen bases, giving them an AL-best 49. （選球眼和竊盜集團） Whatever, you have to think the Orioles, on a six-game win streak after Thursday's romp over the Angels, wish they had gone elsewhere as they dropped their ninth game in the past 12 in Angel Stadium. （金鳥倒楣遇到猴子） Reach Dan Weber at [email protected] （中文部份不要找他） --
