Nailbiter: Angels 2, White Sox 1
I have probably mentioned elsewhere that my favorite game of all time has to be Jerry Reuss's June 27, 1980 complete game no-hitter, which is to say I'm partial to well-pitched games. Unfortunately, this wasn't one of them, but Jered Weaver managed another of his drive-ya-crazy-but-get-it-done jobs, aided by the thinnest of margins thanks to the usual Angels buncha-singles offense.
Not to say that was an easy feat, because it meant keeping Jim Thome at 499 home runs (though maybe that's harder for him, as the milestone becomes a millstone). More great pitching out of the Angels' bullpen kept the Sox down after Weaver scratched through his six; the rest of the game was anticlimax, more or less. The M's lost to Tampa Bay 6-2, increasing the Angels' division lead to 8.5 games. Unfortunately, the Indians were playing division doormat Kansas City, and beat them 6-0, so the two teams are tied for postseason home field advantage.

and Cleveland likely wins the tie-breaker based on division winning percentage; we split the season series with them which was the 1st tie-breaker.
I thought Weaver pitched very well, and certainly didn't drive me crazy, other than wishing he could have kept his pitch count down to go another inning or so.
