ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -Kendry Morales drove in the go-ahead run with a two-out single in the seventh inning, and the Los Angeles Angels responded to the Yankees' six-run rally moments earlier for a 7-6 win Thursday night that trimmed New York's lead in the AL championship series to 3-2. Vladimir Guerrero's single tied it in the seventh for the Angels, who somehow didn't surrender after blowing a 4-0 lead moments earlier. New York struck immediately after manager Mike Scioscia removed ace John Lackey. The Game 5 theatrics continued right up to the final pitch, when Angels closer Brian Fuentes retired Nick Swisher on a full-count popup with the bases loaded. Game 6 is Saturday night at Yankee Stadium, with Andy Pettitte facing Los Angeles' Joe Saunders.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
