Game 2 ended in controversy when A.J. Pierzynski reached on a strikeout and a dropped third strike. Umpire Doug Eddings signaled a third strike, which some believed was an out call. Pierzynski reached as the Angels were walking off the field, but they had to return to face another batter. Joe Crede then drove in the winning run with a double.
