 Calhoun and David Freese each homered during a six-run fifth
inning while Howie Kendrick went 3-for-5 with a solo blast and two
RBIs for the Angels, who lead the American League West by eight
games. Jered Weaver (16-8) allowed three runs and six hits over six
innings for his ninth victory in his last 11 decisions.
Lonnie Chisenhall went 2-for-4 with a homer and three RBIs for the
Indians, who dropped four games behind Seattle for the AL’s second
wild card. Cleveland starter Danny Salazar (6-7), who recorded his
first career shutout last Wednesday, yielded six runs on eight hits
over 4 2/3 innings in the makeup of a game originally scheduled for
June 18.
C.J. Cron and Hank Conger opened the fifth with consecutive singles
and Collin Cowgill’s ground out pushed across the first run for the
Angels. Calhoun followed with his 14th homer that hit on top of the
right-field wall and four batters later Freese launched a three-run
blast into the left-center field seats for a 6-0 lead.
Chisenhall responded with a two-run shot to right in the bottom of
the fifth and lined an RBI single in the sixth to pull the Indians
within 6-3. Mike Trout walked and Pujols singled in the seventh
before scoring on a Kendrick base hit and a double-play grounder,
respectively, to add insurance.
