August 17, 2003 at Edison International Stadium the Anaheim Angels beat the  Detroit Tigers 11-6. Adam Kennedy (3-4, 4 runs, 3 RBI) and Scott Spiezio (3-5, 2 runs, 1 RBI) each homered and Chone Figgins also drove in 2 runs in the game. Ramon Ortiz pitched 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 8 hits, striking out 5, for his 14th win of the season. Ortiz was signed as an amateur free agent by the Angels in 1995 and made his Major League debut in 1999 against the Chicago White Sox, a game which he pitched 8 innings for the win. Ortiz had his best years with the Angels between the 2001 and 2003 seasons where he averaged 32 games started and 15 wins. Ortiz earned the win in game 3 of the 2002 World Series against the San Fransisco Giants and set a career mark in wins with 16 in 2003. Ortiz was traded at the end of 2004 to the Cincinnati Reds for pitcher Dustin Moseley.
