A safe squeeze bunt by Leo Cardenas capped a two-run rally in the eighth inning and brought the Angels a 6-5 victory over the Rangers. Vada Pinson opened the stanza with a single and scored the tying run on a double by Ken McMullen, who took third on the throw home. Cardenas then pushed his bunt down the first base line for a hit to score Billy Parker, the pinch-runner for McMullen.
