Vlad The Impaler

Changing teams (and leagues) doesn't seem to have affected Vladimir Guerrero's status as one of the game's best hitters. Last night it was the Red Sox' turn to feel the wrath of his bat - he went 4-for-4 (including two home runs), and had 9 RBIs, which set a franchise record for the Angels. His hot hitting - coupled with David Eckstein's 5-for-5 night - gave the Angels a 10-7 victory over Boston, who dropped to two games behind the Yankees in the standings.
