The Angels outlasted the Indians, 6-5, in a see-saw battle. After the Angels rallied for five runs in the seventh to assume a 5-3 lead, the Tribe tied the count in the top of the eighth on a pair of bases-loaded walks. But rookie Tom Donohue drilled a tie-breaking homer in the bottom of the frame to produce the winning margin for the Californians. [The Sporting News]
