The Los Angeles Angels defeated my Detroit Tigers 4-1 today in Game 5 of the ALDS. While the Tigers out-hit the Angels 11-6, they couldn't push any runs across the plate until the bottom of the 9th. Detroit starter Kenny Rogers was the victim of an error in the top of the 3rd leading to 2 runs for LA. In the top of the 5th Rogers was chased from the mound when LA added 2 more runs for a 4-0 lead. Meanwhile, LA's John Lackey wiggled out of a few jams and ended up going 7 innings without allowing a run. Francisco Rodriguez came on in the 8th and pitched the final 2 innings, allowing Detroit's only run and picking up his 2nd Save of the Series.
The Los Angeles Angels win sends them to the ALCS against the Minnesota Twins. My Detroit Tigers season ends sooner than expected. They only scored 3 runs while losing the last 2 games of the Series. Curtis Granderson has to be mentioned as a big reason they lost the Series. His failure to get on base and drive in any runs proved to be costly. He went 0 for 20, striking out 9 times. After the outstanding regular season he had, it was a disappointing surprise.
