8/17/07: Angels 7 at Red Sox 5 F -- The Angels were looking for a solid, workmanlike effort from Ervin Santana against the Red Sox after his sojourn at Triple-A Salt Lake. What they got was something much closer to magic. Reclaiming his spot in the rotation, along with his self-assurance, Santana was brilliant for 6 1/3 innings on Friday night at Fenway Park. The magic also resurfaced in his teammates in the top of the ninth inning, when they rallied to steal a 7-5 decision from the Red Sox on consecutive hits by Chone Figgins, Orlando Cabrera and Vladimir Guerrero, following a walk to Casey Kotchman. Boston had stormed back with four runs to surge ahead in the bottom of the eighth, giving reliever Eric Gagne the opportunity to close it out -- just like in his glory days with the Dodgers. But Gagne -- acquired at considerable expense at the trade deadline from Texas -- faltered, serving the tying single to Cabrera and then the game-winning two-run double to Guerrero. The improbable triumph averted a Red Sox sweep, and it gave the Angels their first win at Fenway in five games this season.
