Lackey insisted); the three runs the Angels produced in the bottom of the seventh; and, especially, a ninth inning in which Angels closer Brian Fuentes, inserted with a one-run lead, allowed the Yankees to load the bases and Nick Swisher to work a full count before he induced Swisher to pop out. But the key to the Angels' 7-6 Game 5 victory, and the reason why they'll fly to New York on Friday with a chance to win two in a row to advance to the World Series, came hours before any of those events occurred, way back in the first inning. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brian_Fuentes/598097 598097 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 2:12:02 EDT Ben Reiter http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Brian_Fuentes/598097 Fuentes leaves tying run on third News: Angels closer Brian Fuentes narrowly avoided disaster Thursday in Game 5 of the ALCS against the Yankees.
