Halos' 5th straight win keeps heat on Houston

ANAHEIM -- Johnny Giavotella sparked the Angels again on Sunday, stretching what looked like a routine single into a double to lead off the eighth inning of a tie game at Angel Stadium and setting up Kole Calhoun's go-ahead RBI single that lifted the Angels to a 3-2 win and sweep of the Mariners.

Giavotella lined a base hit into center field off Mariners starter Hisashi Iwakuma, and, hustling all the way, caught the Seattle defense off-guard. Brad Miller's rushed throw into second came in on a bad short-hop, and Giavotella dove in just under the tag.
