The Angels, carrying the majors’ best road record, beat the Orioles again 11-6 in Baltimore on Saturday Night. Jon Garland wasn’t as good as usual, but recieved offensive support to win his 9th game of the season. The Angels homered 4 times in the win.

Baltimore starter Radhames Liz was jumped on early, when the Halos scored twice in the first inning. The Orioles came right back against Garland though, when slugger Aubery Huff hit his 20th home run. The Orioles’ lead was short-lived, as Casey Kotchman went deep in the third inning to put the Angels back in front. That same inning, Torii Hunter would go yard, the first of two home runs he would hit last night. Liz would be knocked out of the game, but the Angels would score late against the Orioles’ bullpen. Torii Hunter homered again, and then Juan Rivera hit a 3-run shot to put the game away. Both home runs came against Fernando Cabrera, a usually very reliable reliever. It would be more than enough for Jon Garland to win. Jose Arredondo and Darren Oliver finished the game for the Halos.

Jon Garland: 5.1 IP, 7 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 3 SO

Torii Hunter: 3-3, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 4 R
