PERCIVAL CAN'T KEEP A LID ON IT ARIZONA 7, ANGELS 5.Byline: Gordon Verrell Staff Writer ANAHEIM - An anticipated pitching matchup between the Angels' Jarrod Washburn Jarrod Michael Washburn (born August 13, 1974 in La Crosse, Wisconsin) is a Major League Baseball pitcher for the Seattle Mariners. Drafted by the California Angels in the 2nd round of the 1995 amateur draft out of the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Washburn won the final game and the Arizona Diamondbacks' Randy Johnson
Randall David Johnson (born September 10, 1963), nicknamed "the Big Unit on Saturday night at Edison Field wound up pretty much a draw. Which is where the Angels and Diamondbacks were in the ninth inning, tied 5-5 until All-Star reliever Troy Percival Troy Eugene Percival (born August 9, 1969 in Fontana, California) is a Major League Baseball reliever on the St. Louis Cardinals. Percival came out of retirement on June 8, 2007 when he signed a minor league deal with the Cardinals[1]. gave up two runs on two doubles and allowed the visitors to take a 7-5 victory. Matt Williams' double to left scored Luis Gonzalez Luis Gonzalez is a common personal name that can refer to different people:

Both starters were long gone by then. And in their first head-to-head meeting, Johnson, the majors' strikeout leader, and the red-hot Washburn, who had won six successive decisions and hadn't lost in more than two months, it was more a battle of survival than a war of K's. Washburn left after five innings, Johnson after seven. Between them there was only one 1-2-3 inning. Johnson struck out seven and Washburn had six. The Angels jumped out to a 3-0 lead the first two innings against Johnson, surprising enough right there. Even more surprising was who got them there: Garret Anderson and Benji Gil, who combined were 0 for 20 with 15 strikeouts in previous go-rounds against Johnson. Yet, in the first inning, Anderson's two-out double to right knocked in Troy Glaus, who had walked, and Shawn Wooten, who had flared a single to right. In the second inning, Gil jumped on a 1-1 pitch and hit it over the fence in left for his sixth home run. The Angels added an unearned run in the fourth on a single by Darin Erstad, a misfired pickoff pick·off n. 1.
