Angels Beat Tribe In 16 Inning On Mathis' Sac Fly
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Jeff Mathis drove in the winning run with a sacrifice fly in the 16th inning and the Los Angeles Angels got home runs from Mike Napoli and rookie Peter Bourjos in a 4-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday night, the longest game of the season for both teams.
Cleveland rookie Hector Ambriz (0-2), working his fourth inning of relief, gave up a leadoff double to left-center by Torii Hunter on the 500th pitch of the game. Hunter advanced on Alberto Callaspo's grounder to first base and jogged home after Mathis' flyball to right field.
Matt Palmer (1-1) pitched three innings of two-hit relief for the victory, striking out the side in the 15th.
