"You have to give it up to the pitching staff -- they've been keeping us in ballgames," Mike Trout said after Wednesday's 4-3 victory, which marked the 13th time the Angels had won a game by two runs or less.
"Better to win them than lose them," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said of all the close games, "but we're playing an incredible amount of one- and two-run games and holding our own."
Jered Weaver's performance on Wednesday night -- three runs, four hits, three walks and four strikeouts in seven innings -- marked the sixth time in the last eight games that an Angels starter had gone at least seven innings while giving up three runs or less.
