Angels stun Texas to close gap
Wells gave the Angels the first lead in the second term after hitting a 422 foot homerun, being followed by Bourjos who doubled it in the third term, after Hunter singled to left. Furthermore, Angels were given a 4-0 lead in the fourth term when Trout hit a 429 foot homerun and Wilson a 416 footer.
Rangers’ first reply came in the same term through Kinsler who cut the deficit to three points after Young hit a sacrifice fly to right. The hosts even threatened with a comeback as Napoli singled to center for Andrus’ second point.
Angels broke back through Bourjos who also hit a 391 foot homerun in the fifth term to put his side back into a three points advantage they would never lose. Aybar then singled to left allowing Kendrick to make it 6-2 with Wells getting to second.
On the other side, Texas could only cut the deficit through Murphy, who hit a 410 footer, and Cruz who struggled to resuscitate his side. Unfortunately, the leaders failed to go ahead of their opponents and conceded a couple of more points in the seventh term. Kendrick hit a 430 foot homerun, while Hunter closed out the win with an eighth point, following Wells’ triple.
Los Angeles have gone .594 this season, sitting two gamesback behind Texas. The record includes 72 wins and 60 losses, the victory over the leaders being their seventh in the past ten games and 34th on the road. As for Rangers, they remain safe with a .560 percentage featuring 75 wins and 59 defeats, the loss to their main followers being their seventh in the past ten games and 27th at home.
“We have a lot of baseball left after this series. But it’s important for us to win games. The fact that we won a game against a team we’re trying to catch, sure, that helps but there’s a long road ahead of us. It’s still too early to focus on how many games you’re up or back,” said Scioscia after the game.
