Angels 1, Dodgers 0

Los Angeles – John Lackey held the Dodgers to three hits for 82â3 innings, Francisco Rodriguez retired James Loney with the bases loaded for the final out, and the Angels avoided a sweep with a victory over the Dodgers on Sunday.

Saturday night, Jered Weaver and reliever Jose Arredondo did not allow a hit but the Angels lost to the Dodgers 1-0 on an unearned run. Weaver took the loss in the unofficial no-hitter.

Mike Napoli’s RBI single off Derek Lowe (5-8) in the second inning Sunday was all the offense the Angels needed.

White Sox 5, Cubs 1

Chicago – Carlos Quentin, Brian Anderson and Jim Thome homered to back Mark Buehrle’s seven strong innings as the White Sox completed a three-game sweep at U.S. Cellular Field. The White Sox won three straight at their home park, one week after the Cubs took three in a row across town at Wrigley Field.

Thome’s 15th homer, a two-run blast in the eighth off reliever Jose Ascanio, was his 522nd, moving him past Ted Williams and Willie McCovey into sole possession of 16th place all-time.

Tigers 4, Rockies 3

Minneapolis – Kevin Slowey breezed through his fourth straight dominant start, beating Ben Sheets and Milwaukee with a three-hit shutout. Delmon Young’s two-run homer and Carlos Gomez’s RBI triple highlighted an impressive revival by the Twins against the previously surging Sheets (9-2), hours after their 10-game winning streak ended.

The right-handed Slowey (5-6) retired the first 10 batters he faced and struck out eight in his first career shutout, second complete game.

Astros 3, Red Sox 2

Houston – Mark Loretta had a pinch-hit, RBI single in the eighth inning off Hideki Okajima as the Astros took two of three from the Red Sox.
