Parrish’s Number Comes Up and Angels Win in 11
Lance Parrish dreaded facing Boston Red Sox reliever Dennis Lamp in the 11th inning late Wednesday night.
“If there’s anybody in the game who’s got my number, it’s him,” said Parrish, who was hitless in his last 21 at-bats.
Parrish ended his slump with a two-run home run, giving the Angels an 8-6 victory in a game that took 4 hours 6 minutes. Parrish’s hit took the burden of guilt off Dave Winfield, whose misplay of Carlos Quintana’s seventh-inning fly ball led to a four-run rally that put the Red Sox ahead, 6-2.
