Halos erupt in 11th vs. Twins
MINNEAPOLIS — Howie Kendrick's pinch-hit RBI single started Los Angeles' six-run 11th inning and the Angels recorded their major league-leading 34th comeback victory of the season, 11-5 over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night.
The Angels, who have come from behind in 13 of their past 18 victories, had six hits and two walks against three Minnesota relievers before making an out in the 11th inning.
Kevin Jepsen (3-2) pitched two innings of scoreless relief for the Angels, who improved to 4-3 in extra-inning games this season. Darren Oliver pitched the 11th.
Mike Napoli, who had four hits, tied the game 5-5 with a homer in the Angels' eighth, his fifth homer in 10 games. Bobby Abreu had a homer among three hits and drove in four.
The Angels are 12-3 since the All-Star break. They completed July with a 19-7 record and averaged 7.1 runs per game.
Joe Mauer homered and had three hits for the Twins, who are 4-7 in extra-inning games.
RED SOX 6, ORIOLES 5: At Baltimore, Kevin Youkilis put Boston ahead with a two-run homer in the seventh inning, and David Ortiz and Jacoby Ellsbury also connected to help the Red Sox beat the Baltimore Orioles.
Ortiz has two home runs in two games since it was disclosed that he was on the list of more than 100 major leaguers who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003. John Smoltz (2-4) earned his second victory in seven starts for Boston despite allowing five runs and eight hits in six innings.
INDIANS 6, TIGERS 5: At Cleveland, Jamey Carroll's RBI single in the 13th inning gave Cleveland a 6-5 victory over Detroit and capped an emotional Friday for the Indians, who traded popular All-Star catcher Victor Martinez to Boston shortly before the non-waiver deadline. Carroll sliced his single off rookie Casey Fien (0-1) just inside the first-base bag to score Jhonny Peralta, who opened the 13th with a double.
RANGERS 5, MARINERS 4: At Arlington, Texas, Marlon Byrd's three-run homer in the fifth inning broke a tie and sent the Texas Rangers on to a 5-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners.
