Washburn gave up five runs in the first two innings. The Angels' pitching staff took over from there. Washburn did not allow another run through three more innings and the Angels' bullpen supplied another dominating performance. Angels' relievers pitched five more shutout innings (Esteban Yan Esteban Luis Yan (born on June 22, 1975 in Campiña del Seibo, Dominican Republic) is a starting pitcher for the Hanshin Tigers of Nippon Professional Baseball's Central League.

Rodriguez (1-0) earned the win, which, on the heels of Wednesday night's win over Cleveland, gave the Angels their first back-to-back wins at home this season. ``We're not even talking about a comeback win if not for the bullpen,'' Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. ``That's been one of our strengths and they continue to do the job.'' Washburn gave up three runs on four hits and an error in the first inning, then surrendered a two-run home run by Ronnie Belliard in the second inning. The Indians' second baseman turned on a Washburn changeup and deposited it into the Angels bullpen in left field to give Cleveland an early 5-0 lead. Washburn earned his fourth no-decision and the Angels have gone to extra innings in each of Washburn's four starts. ``I made two mistakes,'' Washburn said, ``but after that I put up some zeroes and the bullpen did another unbelievable job and we kept scrapping back.'' The Angels chipped away and trailed 5-4 entering the bottom of the ninth inning. Cleveland closer Bob Wickman surrendered a leadoff walk to Darin Erstad, who advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Juan Rivera.

Cabrera went 3 for 5 with two doubles, and his winning shot was his second home run of the season. ``That's one of the reasons we went out and got him,'' Washburn said of Cabrera. ``He brings some power to the plate and he changed the game with one swing.'' The Angels scored a run in the third inning and tacked on two more runs in the fourth to get within striking distance. Cabrera led off the fourth inning with his second double against Indians starter Kevin Millwood. Third baseman Dallas McPherson followed with a single to left, his first hit of the season, and Jose Molina walked to load the bases. Chone Figgins brought home Cabrera with a sacrifice fly, then Erstad followed with his second double, a screamer screamer, common name for gregarious, aquatic birds comprising three species in the family Anhimidae.

The Angels picked up a run in the eighth inning to get within one run after pinch-hitter Maicer Izturis hit a one-out single, stole second and scored on Jose Molina's single. Cleveland got to Washburn quickly in the first inning. Belliard and Victor Martinez hit one-out singles and advanced a base on a Washburn throwing error.
