Palmeiro tied the game with a pinch-hit RBI single in the top of the ninth and took Salmon's spot in right field in the bottom of the inning. Martinez led off with a sinking liner to right field. Palmeiro got his glove on the ball as he slid, but the ball squirted out for a single. Martinez was sacrificed to second but stayed there when Damian Rolls popped to first for the second out. Williams followed with the game-winner.
Nobody feels worse than Orlando.
To all of us it looks like a routine putout to right field. He's the only guy who can't see it. It's a lonely position to be in. Angels center fielder Darin Erstad, who has lost a couple of fly balls in the twilight sky this season, could sympathize. If you can't see it, it's tough to catch.
