The AL West race is officially a lost cause for the Los Angeles Angels. Now all that's left for them is a chance for the wild card -- and it's an increasingly slim one at that. Gio Gonzalez outdueled Angels ace Jered Weaver and the Oakland Athletics scored the go-ahead run on an eighth-inning error, beating the Angels 3-1 on Friday night, mathematically ending their chances of catching defending AL champion Texas.
