Series tied at 1
NO HITTER!! NO HITTER!! Jason Schmidt on the biggest stage there is pitches a no hitter and is brilliant against the Angels. He walks only three men and never seemed out of sync striking out seven. Jeff Kent hit a home run and Reggie Sanders scored two runs but it was Schmidt who was the magnificent today. The only no hitter so far in this entire tournament.

Twelve hits are not enough for the Angels who come up short. Down a run in the bottom of the 8th, Tom Goodwin doubled in two runs and the lead would hold for Rob Nen in the 9th. It seems as if these two teams could play eachother 100 times and everygame would be a nailbiter.
Game 5

02 Angels lead series 3-2
John Lackey and Ryan Vogelsong started it, and the bullpen continues an impressive pitchers day. The game was tied at zero before Orlando Palmiero doubled off of Rob Nen in the 10th to drive in a run. Troy Percival closed the door including a game ending strike out of Jeff Kent. Heading home the Angels are one game away.

02 Angels win series 4-2
Three errors for the Giants who dug themselves a hole as Adam Kennedy went 3-5 with two RBI and Orlando Palmiero again drove in two. Jarrod Washburn was just good enough and the Angels get it done at home to move to the quarterfinals.
