``After the many tough games we have had, you wonder how much they can take,'' Angels manager Terry Collins said. ``The one thing they have to realize we are all battling, supporting (one another) and we are in this together.'' The Angels' loss, their sixth in their last seven games, dropped them 2-1/2 games behind In sports, the phrase games behind, often abbreviated as GB in tables, is a common way to reflect the gap between a leading team and another team in a sports league, conference, or division. Seattle in the divisional race. Also, the Yankees increased their lead in race for a wild card over Anaheim to eight games. In his first game since Aug. 9, Phillips went 2 for 3 with three walks and two runs. After leading off the ninth with an infield single, he eventually scored the game-tying run - 2-2 - to send the game into extra innings. ``Time heals (all wounds),'' said Phillips, 38. ``I'm going to go out there and play and take my medicine and my lumps. I've never been one to run away from a situation. In this situation that occurred, I'm going to take it on straight ahead. ``That is what I'm going to do right now. I see no reason to run and hide.'' The late inning drama overshadowed a pitching duel between Springer and Pettitte. In eight-plus innings, Springer allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits, going at least eight innings for the fifth time in his last six outings. Pettitte allowed just one run on five hits in eight innings. ``My outing was secondary,'' Springer said. ``We lost and that is the main thing.'' Before the game, the Angels returned left-hander Mark Langston to the 15-day disabled list to continue his left-elbow surgery recovery. At the same time, the Angels purchased the contract of catcher Chris Turner from Triple-A Vancouver, where he batted .370. Turner adds much-needed depth at catcher because Todd Greene is out 6-8 weeks with a fractured right wrist he suffered Wednesday. Langston, 37, is 2-4 with a 5.85 ERA in eight starts this season. He was activated from the DL Wednesday and started the second game of a doubleheader against New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States.

He allowed five runs on six hits and walked two in just one-plus innings of the 8-5 loss. He is expected to throw a simulated game Tuesday. ``I felt I was ready for the challenge,'' said Langston, who will be a free agent after the season. ``I couldn't be more disappointed. I feel like I let this team down.'' Tino Martinez's solo shot, his 40th home run on the season, in the 11th gave New York a 3-2 edge. But in Turner's first at-bat this season, he hit an RBI RBI abbr.
