Angels blow 9th-inning lead, then rally for 2 in the 10th to edge Twins 5-4
Mike Trout tied it with a 10th-inning RBI single before Wade Meckler delivered the winning hit for Los Angeles' fifth straight victory.
On Thursday, Wade Meckler hit a walk-off single in the 10th inning, lifting the Los Angeles Angels to a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins in Anaheim after Mike Trout tied the game with an RBI single.
Angels starter Walbert Urena dominated for seven shutout innings, striking out a career-high nine batters while allowing just four hits, though the bullpen surrendered the lead in the ninth and spoiled his potential victory.
Walker Jenkins tied the game in the ninth inning with a 394-foot, two-run homer off closer Ben Joyce that sailed just over center fielder Jose Siri's glove.
Left-Hander Blake Weiman earned his first major league win after limiting damage to one run in the 10th, which came on an RBI single by Brooks Lee.
"It feels great to be on our side of them," Meckler said of the walk-off victory, which marks the fifth win in 19 extra-inning games for the Angels this season.
