Deakyne hits 13th home run in Angels Win
The exploits of third baseman Preston Deakyne, who finished 3rd in the AL in runs with 101 last year, helped the California Angels defeat the Houston Astros, 8-1. Deakyne went 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Picking up the win was Jeff Baker. He went 6.2 innings, allowing 1 run on 5 hits. The left--hander struck out 9 and walked 1. The American League West Division-leading Angels are 68-54.

California needed the clutch hitting of Rusty Ney to notch the win. The right fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Angels on top, 4-1. For the game, Ney had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Deakyne, "and then get after it again."
