Jose Molina singles to start the 8th. Scioscia uses DaVanon as a pinch runner, and luckily he has three catchers on the roster so he doesn’t need to move Bengie out of the DH slot.
Update: Gene Mauch is smiling as the Angels execute another sacrifice as Kennedy moves DaVanon to second.
Update: Figgins grounds to short but moves the runner to third. Now a wild pitch or passed ball scores the run.
Update: On a 3-1 pitch, Cabrera gives the ball a ride, but Podsednik catches it against the wall to end the inning. Buehrle’s at 91 pitches through eight innings, 65 for strikes.
