4-4 game Seattle at LAA. Seattle has a bunch of games against poor teams started
Yesteryear which they won.
Bottom 8th. Leadoff double. Wild pitch gets runner to 3rd with no outs..
Washington tries. Squeeze play with runner going. Ball barley gets passed the plate and spins back to the catcher. Batter is tagged and then runner thrown out at first..
It will be a miracle if I ever see a runner from third score again with less then 1 out.
Both Boston and Detroit are rooting against Seattle.

Moniak for the Angels 2 run shot in the 7th tied the game and with 2 outs and I think 2 strikes he walked it off 5-4 with his 2nd homer. Helps us.
