Big flies against Pettitte

Angels center fielder Torii Hunter extends his hitting streak to 13 games with a three-run homer off of Andy Pettitte in the first inning in the Bronx. Hunter's homer to right center comes right after Vlad Guererro flew out to the warning track in deep left.

Update: The pounding continues all night. LAA smashes three three-run homers. Juan Rivera followed Hunter with his in the third. Vlad whacked his off Chris Britton. Los Angeles roles, 12-6, as Pettitte picks up the loss, giving up nine earned in 5 1/3 innings. Jon Garland pitches well enough for his 10th win, as he's a pretty steady back-end rotation guy in fantasy.

Update: This was the first time in 30 years that three Angels hit a three-run homers in the same game. Can you name the 1978 trio?
