BALTIMORE — Torii Hunter celebrated his return from the disabled list by driving in the go-ahead run in a nine-run 13th inning, and the Los Angeles Angels outlasted the Baltimore Orioles, 17-8, yesterday.

Chone Figgins had four hits for the Angels, including the 1,000th of his career — an RBI single in the sixth inning. Los Angeles' leadoff hitter scored three runs and drove in three.

After missing 32 games with a groin injury, Hunter had two hits and two RBIs in his first action since July 7. He lined into a double play with the bases loaded in the 11th but hit a bases-loaded single up the middle in the 13th off Brian Bass (5-3).

"The last time, I just wanted to put the ball somewhere safe and get the run home," Hunter said.

Baltimore closed to 8-7 in the eighth when Matt Wieters ended an 0-for-16 skid by Orioles pinch hitters with an RBI single, and Baltimore pulled even in the ninth against closer Brian Fuentes. Brian Roberts led off with a double, stole third and scored on a fly ball by Adam Jones.

"I don't know what more they could have done to try to win the game," Orioles manager Dave Trembley said.
