With their Rally Monkey does its best work in years, the angels sent the AL championship series back to New York.

Vladimir Guerrero’s single tied it in the seventh for the Angels, who somehow did surrender after blowing a 4-0 lead moments earlier not. New York struck immediately after the manager Mike Scioscia removed dead John Lackey, with Robinson Canó limiting the rally with a two-run triple.
The Game 5 theater continued until the last resort, when Angels closer Brian Fuentes retired Nick Swisher on a full-count popup with the bases loaded.
“Everybody thought we had off,” Angels outfielder Torii Hunter said.
Game 6 is Saturday night at Yankee Stadium, with Andy Pettitte facing Los Angeles’ Joe Saunders. Also in the pipeline: a big rain storm.
When Cano is in New York to 6-4, all in the dark Angel Stadium recall a clinching victory and a 40th AL pennant for the Yankees.
