California Angels (38-80) 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 0 8 15 2

Angels Score Late to Upend Twins, 8-1
The California Angels topped the Minnesota Twins, 8-1, the lion's share of the credit going to right fielder Joe Charboneau. On the day, Charboneau was 4 for 6 with 4 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Angels. California reliever Willie Hernandez picked up the win, while Chuck Gibbon took the loss for Minnesota. Yes, it was a win for California; but their 38-80 record is still nothing to boast about.

It could have been a different outcome for California, had it not been for Carney Lansford, the former first round draft pick . Lansford contributed a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put California up, 4-1.

Lansford said his team "executed a good game plan."
