Minnesota Downed, 5-2, by Angels
The Los Angeles Angels picked up a win at Angel Stadium of Anaheim, taking down the Minnesota Twins, 5-2. Starting pitcher Fred Cove was a big reason why. The winner was Darren Watkins in relief. His record improves to 8-2. Jorge Fajardo took the loss. Getting the save was Héctor Rosado, his 42nd.

Los Angeles took a 4-2 lead on Isranel Wilson's 25th double of the season. The bases-clearing double, which Wilson hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Minnesota pitcher Jorge Fajardo visibly frustrated.

"Winning never gets dull," said Wilson.

The Angels, at 98-46, have a comfortable 21½-game lead in their division.
