Hafner Helps Tribe Smash Angels, 6-1

Travis Hafner hit a go-ahead homer that was upheld by video replay and No. 9 batter Lou Marson broke the game open later in the sixth inning with his first career grand slam, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 6-1 victory over the fast-fading Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night.

The Angels lost for the 11th time in 15 games, keeping the three-time defending AL West champions 9 1/2 games behind division-leading Texas with 23 remaining. The Angels, who have spent one day alone in first place all season, have lost five straight home games for the first time since 2006 -- the last time they failed to reach the playoffs.

Justin Masterson (6-12) allowed a run and six hits over seven innings with five strikeouts and two walks.
