Murphy makes O's pay for intentional walks

ANAHEIM -- David Murphy saw the intentional walks to Mike Trout and Albert Pujols coming. Sitting next to C.J. Cron in the dugout, three batters before his 11th-inning walk-off single gave the Angels a 5-4 win over the Orioles on Sunday, Murphy watched the O's go to left-hander Brian Matusz out of the bullpen to face Kole Calhoun, and he predicted exactly what would happen next.

"I saw them bring him in, and realized they only had one righty left in the 'pen and that he wasn't warming up," Murphy said.
