Eric Scales must believe in the Big Bang theory. He proved it by banging three deep against the Oakland Athletics. The hard-hitting Los Angeles Angels left fielder added a lot of firepower and excitement to the 9-0 Angels win, leaving fans and the opposing dugout buzzing about his standout performance.

"He looked real good today," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said later. "I think the guys were awful impressed by him. Frustrated, but impressed."

For the game, Scales had 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 8, and scored 3 runs. The 26-year-old is known in league circles as a tireless worker, and told reporters he has recently been putting in extra time fine-tuning his swing, "to keep it short, compact and simple."

"Looks like it worked today," he said.

Eric Scales hit a two-run home run off Ben Eckels in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off Ben Eckels in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Bennie Middehof in the 5th and flied out in the 8th.
