It's a field day for hitters as Angels beat Rockies, 10-8 DENVER - Balls were flying all over the park and players were whirling around the bases Sunday, as the Angels and Colorado Rockies combined for 12 runs and 13 hits, four of them home runs. Then the third inning started. It was that kind of afternoon in high-altitude Coors Field, where the humidor that is supposed to limit the flight of baseballs was no match for some awful pitching and a slight breeze blowing out to left field. The Angels thrived again in such hitter-friendly conditions, as Mark Trumbo hit a pair of three-run homers and the top of the order continued to produce at a torrid pace in a 10-8 interleague victory over the Rockies. Ervin Santana's hold on a rotation spot looked even more tenuous after he was rocked for seven runs and nine hits in 52/3 innings and let a five-run lead slip away in the second. He's allowed 23 runs in 201/3 innings of his last four starts, a 10.18 earned-run average. But Santana righted himself in the third, the offense pounded out 15 hits, Trumbo snapped a 6-6 tie with a towering three-run shot in the fourth, and the Angels held on for their 14th win in 18 games, extending their road winning streak to nine and improving their interleague record to a major league-best 66-30 since 2007. "There's no such thing as a cushion in this park," Manager Mike Scioscia said. If you're up by five, you want to be up by six; if you're up by six, you want to be up by seven. The top three hitters in the order - Mike Trout, Torii Hunter and Albert Pujols - made sure the Angels were protecting leads rather than playing catch-up, combining to go 23 for 42 (.548) with 21 runs in the series. Trout doubled to spark a four-run first inning Sunday, the first of five straight hits to open the game, and scored on Hunter's single to left. He walked in the second and scored on Hunter's two-run homer to left, the right fielder's fourth homer in four games. Hunter also singled in the fourth and scored on Trumbo's homer. Pujols singled in the first and reached on an error in the fourth, scoring both times on Trumbo homers, and he doubled and scored on Howie Kendrick's single in the eighth. Trumbo's six RBIs were a career high. "No wonder I'm so tired - it's from all that running in high-altitude Denver," Hunter, 36, said. I couldn't breathe. Santana was gasping for air in the second, an inning that unraveled when, with a 5-1 lead, he walked Rockies pitcher Christian Friedrich to put two on with two outs. Tyler Colvin followed with a three-run homer to center, a shot Trout nearly made a spectacular leaping catch of, the ball squirting out of his glove as he slammed into the wall. Marco Scutaro doubled, and Carlos Gonzales crushed a two-run homer to center for a 6-6 tie. "It's not fun to pitch here," Santana said. It's different from every other park. The slider looks like a fastball. Everything hangs. Santana, however, allowed only one more run and three hits while pitching into the sixth inning and came away with a win to improve to 3-7. "The second inning was not very good for him, but when he came out in the third, it looked like he had a better plan," Scioscia said. He almost got through six innings, and if you told us in the second that he was going to finish six, we would have had a tough time believing it. Santana gave way to LaTroy Hawkins, who walked Colvin to put two on but got Scutaro to ground out to end the sixth. Jason Isringhausen threw a scoreless seventh, and Ernesto Frieri retired the side in order in the eighth, giving him 161/3 scoreless innings with 33 strikeouts since his May 3 trade from San Diego. Scott Downs allowed his first run in 211/3 innings this season in the ninth but, with the help of a controversial call, recorded his sixth save. After Colvin led off with a double and scored on Scutaro's single to make it 10-8, Gonzalez hit a wicked liner that Downs stabbed at and appeared to catch. But the ball squirted out of his glove, and home-plate umpire Greg Gibson quickly signaled no catch. Downs threw to second for an out, and Gonzalez failed to run to first and was doubled up. Michael Cuddyer singled, but Downs got Helton to pop to short, ending the game. Let's get out of here! General Manager Jerry Dipoto said as he walked into a victorious Angels clubhouse. Not surprisingly, Dipoto is a former Rockies pitcher.
