Angels Fall Again To Orioles’ Rally

Lenny Webster singled in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning Sunday as the Baltimore Orioles once again rallied to beat the Anaheim Angels, 5-4.

Aaron Ledesma hit his first major-league home run and Rafael Palmeiro had his 25th of the season for the Orioles, who moved a season-high 33 games over .500 with their 15th win in 20 games.

Baltimore has won seven straight extra-inning games.

Tim Salmon had three hits and an RBI and Rickey Henderson drove in two runs for Anaheim, which lost leads of 3-1 and 4-3 less than 24 hours after blowing a six-run cushion in a 10-9 loss. The Angels trail Seattle by one game in the A.L. West

Blue Jays 10, Indians 5

Cleveland

Roger Clemens struck out 11 in his 19th victory as Toronto snapped Cleveland’s four-game winning streak.

Clemens (19-4), who leads the majors in wins and is second in ERA, moved one victory away from his fourth 20-win season and first since 1990 as he bids for his fourth Cy Young Award.

It was Clemens’ third straight double-digit strikeout game, 11th this season and 79th of his career. His ERA went from 1.66 to 1.78, still tops in the A.L. but second in the majors to Montreal’s Pedro Martinez (1.70).

After David Cone removed himself in the second inning with a tight right shoulder, Ramiro Mendoza pitched six innings of two-hit relief to lead New York over Texas.
