"Vernon Wells sparked a 12th-inning rally with his first hit since Saturday as the Angels beat the Cleveland Indians, 4-3, at Angel Stadium on Wednesday.

Wells had been 4 for 48 as an Angel and 0 for 4 in the game before the one-out single.

"It's getting close" Wells said. "I mean, for some reason, you'll get in the box and you'll start feeling comfortable, right at the plate just in the middle of the at-bat and like, 'Oh, yeah, that's it. That feels like I've done this before.' All of a sudden, hit a ball hard, and it's like, all right, let's go.

"I actually had (that moment) during the at-bat before that. I just missed a pitch, and popped that ball up. And I felt better in my last at-bat."

In that last at-bat, he hit a sharp grounder into the hole between third base and shortstop. Asdrubal Cabrera couldn't field it and Wells reached base.

Alberto Callaspo walked and, after a wild pitch, the Indians walked Mark Trumbo intentionally to load the bases. With one out, Jeff Mathis hit a sacrifice fly to drive in Wells.

It made left-hander Hisanori Takahashi a winner in relief, the first Angel besides Jered Weaver or Dan Haren to get a victory this year."
