Longoria Awakens
You have to wonder what Angels starter Ervin Santana was thinking when he buzzed Evan Longoria in the third — actually nicking him with the high and inside pitch.
Until Longoria’s recent hamstring problem, he had been one of the hottest hitters in baseball. But since returning he had gone 0-for-19. That all changed in Longoria’s third at-bat against Santana when he re-routed a 2-0 pitch over the 404 mark on the center-field wall.
A perfect example of the old saying that you never awaken a sleeping giant.
