![]() Fans stay after Game 5 to wish Padres luck in Anaheim SAN DIEGO, CA - A rematch of Game 1 starters Felix Hernandez and Joe Blanton was well-suited for the high-stakes Game 5 of the 2010 World Series. With the series tied at two games apiece, the Game 5 winner would be in the driver's seat with two chances to capture the championship. Hernandez performed well again and this time it earned him a World Series win as the Angels defeated the Padres 4 to 2. For the first time in the playoffs, Blanton was the losing pitcher. "I didn't let them get many hits tonight, but two thirds of the hits I did allow were homers unfortunately," Blanton explained. "I let the team, and all of San Diego, down tonight. I gave those guys momentum." Before the Padres could even score, the Angels had jumped out to a 4-0 lead behind solo home runs from Denard Span, Troy Tulowitzki, Victor Martinez and Curtis Granderson. Raul Ibanez was the only bright spot for the Padres, going 3-4, scoring both Padre runs and hitting a solo shot off Hernandez.
