A two-out home run ball bounced off the landscaping in Angel Stadium’s left-center field, ricocheting into the grass to give Kole Calhoun his 19th home run and the Angels a one-run lead as they beat the Seattle Mariners 4-3 on Sunday.
The 395-foot , which ended Calhoun’s skid at 0 for 25, was the second hit by the Angels on an afternoon where little else rolled their way. The Angels mustered only seven hits and were one for seven with runners in scoring position. The offense, which sparked once with left fielder Justin Upton’s three-run home run in the third inning and dimmed until Calhoun’s shot, combined for nine strikeouts.
