 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Kelvim Escobar won his 10th game after being snubbed again for a spot in the All-Star game and the Los Angeles Angels avoided a three-game sweep with a 5-2 victory over the Texas Rangers on Thursday night.
Left off the initial American League roster released Sunday, Escobar had another chance to make the team. But Red Sox reliever Hideki Okajima beat out Escobar and three others in Internet voting that ended Thursday to determine the final player.
Escobar (10-3) allowed one run and three hits over seven innings, with eight strikeouts and three walks. The right-hander is 4-0 in six starts since the start of June.
