The Angels would take their first lead in the series when Darin Erstad hit a solo home run in the first with one out. The Angels would score three more in the second. Scott Spiezio would double in the first run of the inning. In a bizarre play, Spiezio stole home while Adam Kennedy tried to steal second. He was caught up in the rundown and knocked the ball away from Pierzynski, although no one called interference. Adam Kennedy went to third and would score on David Eckstein's RBI single to make it 4–0 Angels. A two-run homer by Brad Fullmer gave the Angels a six-run lead. A three-run sixth inning, capped off by a two-run Doug Mientkiewicz single, cut the lead in half. Troy Percival would save the game as the score remained unchanged.
