[size=18:1560918eb6]Errors Allow Angels to Take ALCS Game 3[/size:1560918eb6]

The California Angels took advantage of 2 costly Yankee errors in the field - while escaping damage from 4 of their own - and [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=2115][b:1560918eb6]came out on top, 2-0, in ALCS Game 3[/b:1560918eb6][/url]. Ironically, it was Game 1 hero [url=][b:1560918eb6]Julio Franco[/b:1560918eb6][/url] who misplayed a grounder in the 2nd inning and threw it away, resulting in the only 2 runs in the game, both of them unearned.

[b:1560918eb6]ALCS Game 4[/b:1560918eb6] is on Saturday, featuring a matchup of New York's Doug Drabek (15-9, 3.84) vs. California's Don Sutton (11-13, 2.93).

[b:1560918eb6]Also on Saturday, the NLCS shifts to St. Louis for Game 3[/b:1560918eb6], in which the Astros' Bob Knepper (19-11, 2.34) meets Cardinals lefty John Tudor (13-11, 2.94). The series is tied at 1 game apiece.
