Story summary

On Saturday night in Anaheim, Calif., the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Minnesota Twins by a score of 6-5 after 11 innings. The winning play came when Christian Moore hit an infield single with the bases loaded and two outs off reliever Taylor Rogers, whose leg deflected the ball to allow Zach Neto to score. Earlier in the game, Vaughn Grissom tied it at 5-5 with a solo home run in the ninth inning. The Angels' Josh Lowe made a crucial defensive play in the tenth by throwing out Ben Ross attempting to score from third on a shallow fly ball hit by Royce Lewis. Despite the loss, the Twins remain technically eligible for an AL Wild Card spot but are at least 6.5 games behind five teams with only seven games left in the season.
