Nuthin' but a Johnny G thang: Angels crush Mariners 8-4 as Giavotella makes triumphant return

Angels 8 Mariners 4

It had been a little over a month since Johnny Giavotella mysteriously dropped out of the Angels' lineup, making way for lots and lots of Taylor Featherston playing time. We eventually learned that he had something called fourth nerve palsy pop up in his eyes, causing him to have double vision when looking to his left. The only thing he could do? Wait.

Johnny Giavotella was finally back at 100% today, and was immediately put back into the lineup card by manager Mike Scioscia. He knows a spark plug when he sees it, and with the way he came through in the clutch in the earlier parts of the season, they would need him in this stretch of games where every day could be the team's last.
