Anaheim, Calif. July 29: Gary Matthews Jr. drove in three runs with a double in the eighth inning that carried the Los Angeles of Anaheim past the Cleveland Indians 7-6 Tuesday.

Matthews lined a pitch off Tony Sipp into the left-center gap with the bases loaded to stake the Angels to a 7-4 lead that held up even though closer Brian Fuentes, who leads the majors with 30 saves but blew a save chance Monday, surrendered a pair of runs in the ninth inning.

Matt Palmer (9-1) picked up his first win out of the bullpen with three scoreless innings. Indians starter David Huff (5-5) took the loss after giving up five runs on eight hits in seven innings.
