2002 game 6 world series

E —Bonds 1 , B Molina 1. DP —San Francisco 1, Anaheim 1. SH —J Molina 1,off Nen. WP —Rodriguez 1. T — A —44, Baseball Almanac Box Score. Anaheim won at home in a game where the lead kept fluctuating between the two teams, tying up the series. Bonds again hit a mammoth homer with 2 outs in the 9th inning, off of Troy Percival. The biggest home run of the night, however, was hit by Tim Salmon , a longtime Angel, with 2 outs and one on in the bottom of the 8th.

The dramatic blast won the game for the Angels. The Angels batted around twice without a home run in either of their 4-run innings. Barry Bonds hit another home run, becoming the first man to homer in his first 3 World Series games. San Francisco scored a victory to tie the series. The run was unearned due to Anaheim catcher Bengie Molina 's passed ball during the previous at-bat, allowing J. Snow to move to second. San Francisco took a blowout win in a game in which the Angels never led. The most well-known moment in this game occurred when Giants first baseman J.

Snow scored off a Kenny Lofton triple. Had Snow not acted quickly, Darren could have been seriously injured. The turning point in the series came in Game 6. In a widely publicized move, Baker gave Ortiz the game ball as he sent him back to the dugout. During the pitching change the Rally Monkey came on the JumboTron , sending 45, Angels fans into a frenzy. Angel first baseman Scott Spiezio came to the plate and fouled off pitch after pitch before finally hitting a 3-run home run that barely cleared the wall in right field.

The rally continued in the 8th inning, as Angel center fielder Darin Erstad hit a leadoff line-drive home run, followed by consecutive singles by Tim Salmon and Garret Anderson. Chone Figgins pinch ran for Salmon. When Bonds misplayed Anderson's shallow left field bloop single, Figgins and Anderson took third and second respectively. With no outs, two runners in scoring position and now only a 5—4 lead, Baker brought in closer Robb Nen to pitch to Glaus, hoping that Nen could induce a strikeout that might yet preserve the Giants' slim lead.

However, Glaus slugged a double to the left-center field gap over Bonds' head to drive in the tying and winning runs. In the 9th inning, Angels closer Troy Percival struck out Rich Aurilia to preserve the victory in front of the jubilant home crowd. Prev Game Next Game. Logos via Sports Logos. San Francisco Giants.
