Page "Designated hitter" Paragraph 18

* Attempting to hold on to a 6-5 lead on June 9, 1996, the California Angels made some defensive changes in the bottom of the 9th, including moving DH Rex Hudler to 2B.

Reliever Troy Percival, however, blew the save and allowed the Cleveland Indians to tie the score, and the game went into extra innings.

Percival batted for himself in the 10th and struck out.

Later, pitcher Ryan Hancock came into the game, and hit for himself in the 13th.

Hancock singled and came around to score the go-ahead run in what turned out to be a 8-6 victory for the Angels.
