Angels take Game 1
Los Angeles wins opener on little rest
BY MIKE FITZPATRICK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Los Angeles Angels' Chone Figgins steals second base as Chicago White Sox second baseman Tadahito Iguchi of Japan corrals the throw from White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski in the eighth inning of Game 1 of the American League Championship Series at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago, Tuesday, The Angels won, 3-2.
CHICAGO — The Los Angeles Angels will have plenty of time to rest. Right now, they're too busy winning.

Paul Byrd pitched effectively in a pinch, Garret Anderson homered, and the travel-weary Angels edged the Chicago White Sox 3-2 Tuesday night in the opener of the AL championship series.
Scot Shields retired slugger Paul Konerko with two on to end the eighth. Francisco Rodriguez worked around third baseman Chone Figgins' error to begin the bottom of the ninth and struck out Joe Crede to close it out.
The Cuban right-hander worked into the ninth inning but lost for the first time since Aug. 15, ending his nine-start winning streak.
Recovering from a throat infection and fever, Jarrod Washburn is slated to pitch Game 2 for the Angels tonight against All-Star starter Mark Buehrle.
Chicago had won eight games in a row going back to the regular season, but fell short against a Los Angeles team playing in its third time zone in three nights.
The Angels won Game 1 for the first time in six postseason series under manager Mike Scioscia.
The Angels were supposed to be more than a little jet-lagged. Sunday night, they were on the East Coast, playing the Yankees. Monday night, they were back on the West Coast, beating New York. Now, they're in the Midwest, with no off-day until Thursday.
Seeking their first World Series berth in 46 years and first championship since 1917, the White Sox got another outstanding outing from Jose Contreras but couldn't manage much offense.
But Los Angeles was plenty fresh for the ALCS opener, thanks to Byrd and his bullpen.
The Angels lost in New York on Sunday, forcing them to fly cross-country overnight for a decisive Game 5. They made a pit stop at home for a series-clinching victory Monday night, then jumped on a redeye to the Midwest and arrived at their hotel around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday.
The 34-year-old right-hander walked only 28 batters all season and his throwback delivery, with arms rocking back behind
him like a right-handed Whitey Ford, belongs in a flickering old cut of black-and-white film footage.
A 12-game winner during the regular season, Byrd got the Game 1 start because he was the only option left. The first-round series took a toll on Los Angeles' pitching staff, and ace Bartolo Colon was left off the ALCS roster because of a shoulder injury.
Working on only three days' rest, Byrd slipped on the mound while throwing a first-inning pitch to leadoff batter Scott Podsednik, then held Chicago in check for six-plus innings to earn his first postseason victory.
