Angels beat Twins 4-3 in first game of doubleheader, close gap in playoff race

The Angels did their best to manufacture runs today, much like teams that enjoying winning are wont to do, and it worked quite well in their favor. That is, until Trevor Gott came in during the seventh for starter Andrew Heaney, and manufactured a screw up that would eventually send this game into extra innings.

Andrew Heaney was on the bump today, and looked strong through six innings pitched. He had his slider on lock down, and had a no-hitter going into the sixth inning. He ended up giving an RBI single to Kurt Suzuki in the sixth, when he not only lost his no-hitter, but also his shutout.
