ANAHEIM -- The series finale between the Angels and first-place Rangers turned into a home run derby on Sunday afternoon at Angel Stadium, with the Halos coming out on top with a 3-2 win to avoid a sweep.
For the Rangers, the loss reduced their lead over the Indians for the best record in the American League to one game. The league's best record guarantees home-field advantage throughout the postseason. Texas' magic number to clinch the AL West is 11 games over the Astros, pending the result of Houston's late game against the Cubs.
Both teams traded solo home runs through six innings.
