Troy Glaus hit a 2-run homer in the 1st inning, and the Indians committed 3 errors in the 2nd, which was too much to overcome as they fell to the Los Angeles Angels 5-4. Cleveland starter Gaylord Perry got into trouble in the 2nd when Jim Thome bobbled a Rod Carew grounder to start the inning. With two on and two out, Darin Erstad hit a sharp liner that Thome couldn’t come up with again. Gaylord Perry did the same thing after walking Brian Downing when he couldn’t handle Tim Salmon’s come-backer. The three errors led to two unearned runs. Thome did go 2 for 4 with a homer and 2 RBI, but the errors would end up being the difference, as Francisco Rodríguez pitched a perfect 8th and Brian Harvey followed with a perfect 9th for the save. LA starter Dean Chance allowed 4 runs on 8 hits while striking out 6 in 7 innings. WIth the win, the Angels will advance to play Seattle for the American League Championship. They’ll need to win twice to unseat the Mariners. The Indians will head home after their 4-game winning streak was snapped.
