Angels Top Houston, 6-5
The inspired effort of Houston first baseman Don Hurst was not enough to prevent a loss, 6-5, to the Los Angeles Angels. Hurst was 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles, a walk, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. Los Angeles reliever Ken Dayley picked up the win, raising his record to 1-3. Brian Bruney was tagged with the loss. Los Angeles has rattled off 6 straight wins.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Los Angeles pinch hitter Juan Escobosa, facing Brian Bruney, had a run-scoring ground out. It gave the Angels the 6-5 win.

"Hustle and hard work is a big part of our success," said Escobosa. "Those qualities define our team."
