Indians 2, Angels 0 (12 innings)
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Third baseman Giovanny Urshela hit a two-run home run in the top of the 12th inning, giving the Cleveland Indians a 2-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night at Angel Stadium.
The Indians broke a three-game losing streak and kept the Angels three games behind the Houston Astros in the American League West. Los Angeles lost for the seventh time in eight games.
Right fielder Lonnie Chisenhall began the top of the 12th with a single against left-hander Jose Alvarez (2-3), the Angels' fourth reliever. Right-hander Cam Bedrosian, recalled Monday from Triple-A Salt Lake, replaced Alvarez and induced two outs.
On a 1-0 pitch, Urshela propelled Bedrosian's 78 mph curveball down the left field line for his fourth home run of the season.
Cleveland right-hander Zach McAllister (3-3) allowed one hit in a scoreless 11th inning. Closer Cody Allen struck out two in a perfect bottom of the 12th to earn his 22nd save, completing the Indians' two-hit shutout.
Los Angeles had a chance to win the game in the bottom of the ninth inning against right-hander Carlos Carrasco, who permitted only one walk and one hit in his nine-inning outing. A Carrasco pitch hit second baseman Johnny Giavotella, who moved to second base on pinch hitter Shane Victorino's sacrifice. However, left fielder David De Jesus lined out and right fielder Kole Calhoun struck out on an 86 mph curveball.
Carrasco faced just two batters over the minimum and finished with seven strikeouts. He retired the first 11 batters he faced before walking center fielder Mike Trout in the fourth inning. Designated hitter David Murphy got the Angels' first hit when he lined a single over shortstop Francisco Lindor's glove to start the bottom of the fifth.
Angels starter Matt Shoemaker tied a career high with 10 strikeouts in his six shutout innings while extending his streak of consecutive scoreless innings to 19, 4 2/3 fewer than his career best. Last year's runner-up in voting for the American League's rookie of the year conceded two walks and five hits.
