Alex Rodriguez will be the American League MVP, but tonight the MVP Was Garret Anderson. Anderson got his first Curtain Call of His Carreer Last Night, and he certainly deserved it.
Anderson's grand slam in the sixth inning gave him 10 RBIs and kept 44,264 fans on their feet until one of the most reserved players on the team grinned shyly and took his bow.
The 34-year-old Anderson earlier hit a three-run shot, drove in two runs with a double, and doubled home another run in Los Angeles' 18-9 rout of the New York Yankees on Tuesday night.
Although he became only the 12th player in major league history to reach double-digit RBIs in a game, he was surprised when the fans stood and cheered until he stepped out of the dugout.
Anderson became the first player with 10 RBIs in a game since Yankees star Alex Rodriguez also had 10 against the Angels on April 26, 2005.
Rodriguez hit a pair of solo shots Tuesday, with his 42nd homer of the season coming in the ninth inning off Marc Gwyn.
Wow! What a game! When you talk about a "barnburner" of a game, this is the sort of game you talk about. Alex Rodriguez hits two homeruns, but the Yankees lose thanks to the One Man, 10 RBI Show of Garret Anderson.
