The Minnesota Twins sent their ace Johan Santana to the hill in Game 5 of the ALCS hoping to close the Series out. But the Los Angeles Angels had other ideas and after a back and forth battle the Angels won the game 3-2. LA scored first in the top of the 1st on a Vlad Guerrero double. In the bottom of the 4th, Joe Maur hit a solo shot off Angel starter Kelvim Escobar. Both teams scored a run in the 5th inning and the game was tied 2-2. Then in the 8th, Juan Rivera just cleared the left-centerfield wall and LA led 3-2. Francisco Rodriguez came on to start the bottom of the 8th for LA and struck out the side. In the bottom of the 9th inning he walked a batter with 2 outs before striking out Torri Hunter to close out the game. The ALCS now heads back to LA with the Twins up 3 games to 2.
