ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Angels are one of the best come-from-behind teams in the majors this season, and they will need to pick themselves up again heading into their series opener against the visiting Oakland A's on Monday.
The Angels appeared on the verge of rallying from at least four runs down to win for a league-leading ninth time on Sunday against the Houston Astros, but they gave up a three-run triple with two outs in the eighth and lost 7-5 to drop 1 1/2 games back of Minnesota Twins in the race for the second American League wild card.
