The Angels beat the Indians, 6 – 5, on Erick Aybar’s go-ahead double in the 8th, giving manager Mike Scioscia his 1,000th major league win, all with one team. In a statistical oddity, all seven American League games played today end with one of the teams having scored 5 runs – 4 times by the winning team, and 3 times by the losers. It takes a three-run 10th inning by the White Sox to defeat Seattle, 5 – 2, to complete the slate.
