Hunter's Slam Wins It for Angels

Torii Hunter hit a grand slam with one out in the ninth inning after Cleveland scored three runs in the top half off closer Francisco Rodriguez, lifting the Los Angeles Angels to a 6-4 win over the Indians on Monday night. Jhonny Peralta doubled home the go-ahead run off Rodriguez in a three-run ninth as Cleveland took a 4-2 lead before the Angels rallied against Indians closer Joe Borowski.  

The right-hander surrendered a one-out walk to Gary Matthews Jr., a single to Vladimir Guerrero and another walk to Garret Anderson before Hunter drove a 1-0 pitch just inside the left field pole for his 10th career slam, setting off a pulsating celebration. Hunter, who also homered in the eight inning to put the Angels ahead 2-1, was mobbed my his teammates at home plate, and the fans led a sustained ovation. (More Cleveland Indians stories.)
