Angels Collect 8-6 Win Over Twins
Two of the league's top teams went head-to-head in a late-season match-up.

Minnesota center fielder Martín López had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 8-6, to Los Angeles at Target Field. López hit 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. The winner was Takaaki Ichikawa in relief. His record improves to 3-2. Jimmy Bannatyne took the loss. The save was credited to Adrian Morejon, his 1st.

The outcome might have been different for Los Angeles, had it not been for Zack Erstad, the 24-year old center fielder . Erstad stroked a 2-run single in the top of the tenth inning to put Los Angeles up, 7-5. For the game, he was 4 for 6, including 1 double and 3 singles.

In postgame comments to the Los Angeles News, Erstad said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."

With the win, Los Angeles raised its record to 99-55.
