Associated Press

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Taylor Featherston poked an RBI single over first base with two outs in the 13th inning to give the Los Angeles Angels a 2-1 victory over the Houston Astros on Wednesday.

Surprise starter Andrew Heaney pitched well in his Angels debut, locking up with Lance McCullers in a matchup of touted young arms selected in the first round of the 2012 draft.

Los Angeles took two of three in the series to climb within 4 1/2 games of the AL West leaders.

Erick Aybar greeted Joe Thatcher (1-2) with a leadoff single, advanced on Daniel Robertson’s sacrifice and went to third on Efren Navarro’s groundout.
