ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) – Ben Revere reached base on an error, advanced on a wild pitch and then scored the winning run on a passed ball and a throwing error caused by Cameron Maybin’s walk-off strikeout.

Yeah, Revere could scarcely believe it either.

“That’s the game of baseball, I guess?” the Los Angeles Angels outfielder said.

The latest chapter of the Freeway Faceoff ended in singularly weird fashion – and in 3-2 victory for the Angels over the Dodgers on Wednesday night.

Revere scored from second base when Yasmani Grandal – a hero moments earlier for his two-out tying homer – lost control of Pedro Baez’s third strike.
