The Angels lost to the Athletics on Friday night, allowing the Rangers to clinch the American League West following their own victory over the Mariners. Gio Gonzalez outdueled Jered Weaver and Oakland scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning on an error to help spoil L.A.'s playoff hopes. The Angels are alive in the AL Wild Card race, but their chances are becoming slim. The Rangers have won consecutive division titles after three straight won by the Angels. "It hurts that we can't win the division title. That's understandable. But Texas played so well, we just couldn't catch up to those guys," Angels outfielder Torii Hunter said. "Now we still have a shot at the wild card, and we still have some life left. All you want is just to have a chance to get in. We still have a shot, but it's very frustrating that we can't gain any ground."
