Well, it was good while it lasted.

A six-run 3rd inning for the visitors ended up being more than enough. Dodger starter Tony Gonsolin (8-5) had a rough trip, getting thumped for eight hits and 10 made runs in 3.1 innings.

Heaven Crew outhit the Marlins 10 to 9 however couldn't translate that into enough runs. Mookie Betts hit his 32nd crowning achievement of the season in the very first to tie the game at 1-1, however it was all downhill after that.

Still, the team is 74-47 and leads the National League West by 10.5 video games. Even the streaking Dodgers can't win them all.

Due to the fact that of the threat of rain on Sunday, the Saturday schedule will be a double-header with video games at twelve noon and 6:10 p.m.

Grand slam, triple play? Inadequate

By Pete Zarustica/Orange County Tribune

You 'd think that with a grand slam and a triple play, the Los Angeles Angels would have come off the field Friday night commemorating.

A three-run rally by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 10th at the Big A provided the visitors a 9-6 win over the Halos, continuing their woes.

Shohei Ohtani gave the home team an excellent start with a grand slam in the bottom of the second, his 43rd homer of the season.

The 2 teams fought to a 6-6 tie, spotlighted by an infield triple play-- the first in the majors given that 1971-- that kept Tampa Bay from winning the video game in the ninth.

It wasn't enough as starter Tyler Anderson was tagged for six hits and 5 made runs, and closer Carlos Estevez (5-4) was rocked for 4 hits and 2 earned runs in the 10th.

In an attempt to get ahead of Hurricane Hilary, the Angels (60-63) will host the Rays in a double-header on Saturday.
