anaheim slugfest

The Astros and Angels exchanged 5 run innings last night, but the Angels came up on the winning end, defeating the Astros in the 9th inning, 10-9. Biggio hit a single in the 5th inning for his 2,990th hit, but he remained unplunked for the 52nd consecutive game.

Bartolo Colon throws for the Angels tonight. He's only hit 38 batters on 30,804 career pitches, but this season he's hit 3 batters, which equals his season total for each of the last 3 seasons. Bartolo Colon has never plunked Biggio, but he has given up 5 hits in 16 at-bats.

Shawn Chacon plunked Biggio on June 19, 2001.
