Angels Topple Athletics with Late Rally
Los Angeles registered a win at O.co Coliseum by beating the Oakland Athletics, 2-1. Pitcher Dean Chance was one reason why the Angels triumphed. Chance got the win, improving to 9-14. He gave up 5 hits and walked 2 over 8 innings. He allowed 1 run. Los Angeles is 4th in the American League Western Division with a record of 66-91.

In the top of the eighth, 26-year old first baseman Kendry Morales delivered for Los Angeles. That's when he belted a solo home run, putting the Angels up, 2-1. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a climactic one.

"I tell our guys all the time, 'Every pitch is the right pitch if you put it in the right place, you believe in it and have conviction,'" Los Angeles manager said.
