In baseball, 5-3 is a putout from third base to first base. A lazy grounder, or perhaps a hotshot. The Angels third baseman, David Fletcher, made a couple 5-3 putouts to first baseman Justin Bour today. In fact, both Fletcher and Bour featured prominently in the win.
To the Angels, however, 5-3 is the tally of every single win this week. Whenever the score is 5-3, they win. Whenever they win, the score is 5-3. It goes both ways.
Charlie Morton is one tough customer. Coming into the game, he compiled an 8-0 record with a league-leading 2.
