Back at the scene of his nine-RBI game in 2006, he has 'only' six in Dodgers' 12-7 win at Colorado, their eighth consecutive victory.
DENVER -- When the Dodgers landed in Colorado, James Loney said he started thinking about the day two seasons ago when he drove in nine runs in a single game at Coors Field.
Last spring, in a whirlwind of events that captured the attention of a nation, a cancerous tumor was discovered in the left eye of his infant daughter.
He corrects a flaw in his delivery and looks like the pitcher that beat the Angels in the 2005 ALCS in a victory over Baltimore.
What helped kill the Angels in October 2005 made them stronger Saturday, as Jon Garland rebounded from an erratic opening month with his new team to throw eight superb innings in a 3-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles at Angel Stadium.
Both local teams shopped for center fielders last winter. The Angels won the bidding for Hunter, who has been everything they hoped. The Dodgers signed Jones, who so far looks like another free-agent bust.
'What's wrong with Andruw Jones?" an Angels outfielder asked the other day.
