ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Deja who?

For the second day in a row, the most unlikely grand slam hitter on the Anaheim Angels -- and one of the most unlikely in the Major Leagues -- hit a grand slam.

But Sunday was even more astounding than Saturday for 5-foot-8 shortstop David Eckstein.

On Saturday, the Angels were in control of the game with a 7-4 lead over Toronto. Eckstein's shot just added a comfortable cushion in an 11-4 win.

On Sunday, the Angels were down 5-4 with two outs in the bottom of the 14th inning. They had used all seven of their relief pitchers and all of their position players. The cushion had worn down to a chafing seat of worry.

Eckstein took what already was a very strange baseball game and made it utterly surreal by poking a 1-1 Pedro Borbon cutter into the left field seats to give the Angels an 8-5 win over Toronto, a three-game series sweep of the Blue Jays, and the team's fourth straight victory overall. The Angels improved to 10-14.

Eckstein, the humble type, didn't want to dwell on his heroics, although he was beaming in the clubhouse after the game.

"I had five horrible at-bats, so getting good wood was what felt good," Eckstein said. "It feels good, but I was 1-for-7 today. I expect to do better than this."

Eckstein was particularly peeved about his previous at-bat in the 12th inning with a runner on second and two outs. He hit an inning-ending fly ball to center field.

"That was very disappointing," he said. "I could have ended the game right there. I had the opportunity and didn't come through."

The remnants of the crowd of 25,073 that hung around for the 14th saw him come through, big-time. As did his manager.

"We were looking for a base hit and we got a grand slam," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said, laughing.

"He hit it and [Angels hitting coach] Mickey [Hatcher] turned to me and said, 'He did it again!' Back-to-back grand slams on back-to-back days is certainly rare, especially for a guy who makes his living playing small ball. Like I said, Eck will surprise you. He certainly surprised us today."

And Saturday. Consider these facts: Eckstein's walk-off grand slam was the first in baseball since Sept. 29, 2001 (Brian Jordan, Atlanta vs. New York Mets). It was the first by an Angel since Tim Salmon accomplished the feat on April 4, 1997, at home against Cleveland.

Eckstein became the second Angel to hit grand slams in consecutive games. The first was Willie Mays Aikens, who did it June 13-14, 1979 -- also against Toronto.

Eckstein became the first Major League player to hit grand slams on consecutive days since Albert Belle did it June 14-15, 2000.

For a guy with four home runs last year, that's pretty heady stuff.

After Saturday's game, Eckstein said, "I'm never going to hit a lot of home runs."

After Sunday's game, he said, "Please don't start expecting this of me."

So what does he do for an encore?

"All I ever want to do is hit the ball hard, and that's what I wanted to do in that situation," Eckstein said. "It's been very exciting the last few days, but the most important thing is that we got two Ws out of it."

Scioscia said after Saturday's blast that every Eckstein home run follows the same flight pattern: "about two or three rows in."

On Sunday, Eckstein's frustration from stranding the potential winning run in the 12th must have shown up in his swing, though. The Sunday slam went at least 10 rows in.

"Yeah, today's was a little bit further," Scioscia said. "He got that one good."

And his teammates got him good, too. After mobbing Eckstein in the dugout Saturday, the team took the celebration to home plate before coaxing their shortstop to do a curtain call for the crowd.

"It was really nice," Eckstein said. "But I tried to get out of it as fast as I could."
