Mathis' Sacrifice Fly In 12th Lifts Angels

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Jeff Mathis hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the 12th inning that scored Vernon Wells and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Cleveland Indians 4-3 on Wednesday.

Wells singled sharply into the hole off the glove of shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera with one out in the 12th, only his fifth hit in 49 at-bats this season.

Chad Durbin (0-1) walked Alberto Callaspo, and both runners advanced on a wild pitch to Mark Trumbo. An intentional walk to Trumbo loaded the bases.

Mathis hit a fly to medium center field and Wells streaked home ahead of Michael Brantley's throw. Last season, Mathis beat the Indians by the same 4-3 score in the 16th inning with a sacrifice fly.
