Angels stun Astros in seesaw battle, 10-9

As the Houston Astros prepped for yet another doubleheader on Saturday afternoon, the heat was in full force in Anaheim. Temperatures are scorching throughout all of Southern California throughout this Labor Day weekend and Angel Stadium of Anaheim was no exception, as it was 109 degrees at first pitch of game one, setting a ballpark record for game time temperature. With first-place Oakland winning earlier in the day, the Astros were hoping for a pair of victories to climb within 1.5 games of the top spot in the AL West. The opener was a laborious one, as both teams dug deeper into their bullpens than they would have preferred to.
