Jeff Mathis smacked a grand slam and drove in six runs to highlight a rare offensive explosion for the LA Angels of Anaheim in a 14-11 victory over the Cleveland Indians in their three-game series finale.
The Angels rattled off 19 hits and had three players finish with at least four hits for the first time in franchise history. Mathis was 4-for-5 at the plate, while Casey Kotchman had a hit in all five of his at-bats.
Sabathia flirts with no-no as Brew-Crew blank Red Birds CC Sabathia hurled a three-hit shutout as Milwaukee blanked St. Louis, 3-0, in the third leg of a four-game set at Busch Stadium.
Sabathia (4-0), who threw 5 2/3 hitless innings before Brendan Ryan managed a clean hit to right, was never seriously threatened in the game. The tough left-hander walked just two and fanned seven in the contest en route to recording his eighth career shutout.
