In Anaheim, California, Troy Percival earned his 300th career save, and John Lackey allowed three hits over 8 1-3 innings to lead Anaheim past Texas.
Percival became the 18th member of the 300-save club, getting Mark Teixeira to ground out to second to end the game. It was only his fourth opportunity to close a game since June 1. He spent two weeks on the disabled list because of inflammation in his elbow.
Lackey (9-9) won for the fifth time in six decisions, tying a season high with seven strikeouts, walking one and retiring 15 of his last 16 batters after losing his other two starts against Texas this season.
