| Angels of Anaheim closer Francisco Rodriguez fails to protect a late-inning lead. It's even more uncommon when the standout fireman's team loses two series in a row. Both abnormal feats happened in Anaheim's 5-4, 10-inning home loss to the turbulent New York Mets on Wednesday. Rodriguez yielded a game-tying single to David Wright with two outs in the top of the ninth, and the Mets completed the comeback when one-time Angel Damion Easley homered off Justin Speier in the 10th.
