Every B-grade adventure movie has a scene in which the intrepid hero, finding himself in a fix, comes up with an escape plan that has seemingly no chance of succeeding.
That’s where the Angels find themselves now. Despite Tuesday’s 10-6 win over the Toronto Blue Jays, the Angels trail Texas by 4 1/2 games in the American League West pending the result of the Rangers' night game in Oakland.
In the wild-card race, Boston, which was still playing when the Angels' game ended, is only slightly closer. And there are only eight games left in which to catch the Red Sox.
Yet in the Angels’ clubhouse, hope remains.
“We still have a plan,” outfielder Torii Hunter said. “All is not lost. [But] we’ve got to make it happen. We’ve got to battle.”
