"It's a nice way to say, "My bad."

Bobby Abreu's two-out game-ending single in the ninth inning Wednesday reclaimed a 6-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays that his error and another shaky performance by the Angels bullpen nearly let get away.

"I'm the one who just screwed up in the ninth inning," Abreu said. "You don't want to lose a game like that so it's good to have a comeback."

Abreu was only a co-conspirator in the blown lead. Kevin Jepsen and Brian Fuentes did their part after Hideki Matsui's two-run home run in the sixth inning gave the Angels a 5-3 lead and hope that Matsui was emerging from his prolonged slump.

"My mindset is still the same even though it was quite a period of time when there were no results," said Matsui who is still hitting just .194 this month after going 2 for 4 in front of his father, Masao, who attended his first game at Angel Stadium.

"I think there's a good chance that might happen (the home run ignites a hot streak now)," he said through his interpreter. "My third and fourth at-bats, I felt pretty good at the plate ... You have to have consistent at-bats where you hit the ball hard. That's a good sign."

The Blue Jays cut the lead in half with an infield single and a two-out RBI double by Edwin Encarnacion off Jepsen in the seventh. After a scoreless eighth by Fernando Rodney, Fuentes came on for the ninth and got the first batter, Alex Gonzalez, to sky a pop up into shallow right-center."
