PRELIMINARY ROUND
2008 Anaheim Angels over 1918 Washington Senators
Four games to two
MVP: Ervin Santana (1-0, 0.50 ERA, 14 K, 18 IP)
A series that will make pitching coaches smile this series was a lot closer then the numbers may show. Both the Angels and the Senators combined for an average around .200 and runs were at a premium against very good performances by the likes of Erwin Santana, Walter Johnson, and Joe Saunders. Only two players for the Angels hit over .200 for the series and the top RBI man for the Senators had three in the six games. The games were tight, tense, and well played and the Mike Scoiscia Angels in the end came out on top.
The opening game went a record 19 innings with both teams allowing only one run until a walk off single by Torri Hunter finally decided things. The Angels took the first two games in California before the Senators took two out of three on the east coast. The deciding game six back out west was dominated by Joe Sanders who pitched a shutout and matched Walter Johnson pitch by pitch. A scoreless game went to the 10th when Erik Aybar singled in Chone Figgins with the winning run of the series.
