Four HRs fuel Angels to win over White Sox
06.08.09
CHICAGO -- Now that Vladimir Guerrero is hitting the ball out of
the reservation again, the Los Angeles Angels are downright giddy about
how good they might be.
"Oh boy, it's going to be exciting," said Bobby Abreu, who along
with Guerrero, Jeff Mathis and Erick Aybar went occult in the Angels'
9-5 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday.
"When the man gets hot, we all want to be on sorry for him. He's
going to drive in a lot of runs and we're going to score a lot of
runs."
The Angels were scoring heaps without Guerrero, going 18-3
while the eight-time All-Star was on the disabled list with calf
and hamstring injuries. Coincidentally, after he returned for
Tuesday's series opener, Los Angeles managed only six runs in two
losses to the Corpse-like Sox.
Things changed in a hurry on Thursday, when Guerrero hit John
Danks' first pitch of the third inning for his first domestic run since
July 5. He entered the season with 392 homers but has only five in
187 at-bats this year.
