#Angels Mount One of the Most Spectacular Comeback Victories in Franchise History (VIDEO)

Needless to say, I'd written off the Angels. I mean, it was the top of the 9th and the Rangers had come back to take a 10-6 lead. I was resigned to it. All I could hope was that the Astros would lose to the Diamondbacks tonight, heh.

But then, as Yogi Berra might say, "It ain't over 'till it's over."

Watch, MLB's YouTube page, "10/3/15: Angels' five-run 9th keys comeback win."

At the Los Angeles Times, "Angels beat Rangers with miraculous ninth-inning rally, keep alive playoff hopes":
The Angels staged one of the most improbable comebacks in franchise history on Saturday, rallying for five runs with seven hits in the ninth inning for an 11-10 victory over the Texas Rangers that kept their slim playoff hopes alive.

With the Angels trailing, 10-6, Erick Aybar and Kole Calhoun opened the ninth with home runs to right field off Rangers closer Shawn Tolleson to cut the deficit to 10-8.

Right-hander Ross Ohlendorf replaced Tolleson and got Mike Trout to ground out to shortstop. Albert Pujols reached on a bloop double that dropped when the gloves of first baseman Mike Napoli and second baseman Rougned Odor collided in shallow right field.

With a Globe Life Park crowd of 37,277 on its feet in anticipation of the Rangers clinching their sixth American League West title, the Angels followed with four straight two-out singles to take the lead...
More.

Also at the O.C. Register, "ANGELS STAGE TEXAS-SIZE RALLY TO STUN RANGERS, STAY ALIVE."
