MLB: LA Angels 4, Washington 3 (10 inn.)

ANAHEIM, Calif., June 28 (UPI) -- Maicer Izturis stroked a bases-loaded single in the 10th inning Monday, lifting the Los Angeles Angels to a 4-3 interleague win over Washington.

Alberto Callaspo (3-for-5) singled and Peter Bourjos (4-for-5) hit a ground-rule double off Sean Burnett (3-4) with one out in the 10th. Bobby Wilson was intentionally walked to load the bases, bringing up Izturis, and the Angels second baseman lined a solid hit up the middle for the game-winner.

Michael Morse and Ryan Zimmerman connected for solo shots for the Nationals.
