Tim Salmon’s three-run homer in the top of the 10th inning gave California the win, keeping the Angels in a first-place tie atop the AL West.
The Angels came back from a 5-1 deficit with two runs in the sixth, one in the seventh and one in the eighth. Salmon had four RBIs and Jim Edmonds had three, including a two-run homer off the light tower above the right-field roof.
Salmon’s homer, his 16th, came on the first pitch he saw from reliever Joe Boever after singles by Tony Phillips and Greg Myers.
Troy Percival got the win with two innings of shutout relief. Lee Smith pitched a scoreless 10th, striking out two, for his 21st save, tying him with Cleveland’s Jose Mesa for the league lead.
