Dan Haren twirled a gem, and the Angels put an end to Cleveland's 8-game winning streak.
On this night, Haren was almost perfect. The Halos right-hander tossed a 1-hitter, did not allow an Indian to reach 2nd base, and also struck out 8. If not for Shin-Soo Choo's soft single in the top of the 4th, Haren would have thrown the 270th no-no in major league history.
Fausto Carmona only surrendered 2 runs in 7 2/3 innings of work, but he suffered the tough-luck loss. Even though Carmona has pitched very well in his last 2 outings, he is yet to earn a victory in 2011.

Los Angeles recorded its 2 tallies by virtue of the gopher ball. Peter Bourjos and Mark Trumbo hit solo homers in the 3rd and 7th, respectively. Trumbo's blast was the 1st of his career.
Despite the disappointing defeat, the Tribe remains atop the American League Central Division standings, and the 8-3 record is tied for 2nd best in all of baseball.
