Hokie Joe Saunders leads the Angels into the playoffs. He finished 17-7 in the regular season.

Angels beat Texas 7-0 for 100th victory of season

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)—The Los Angeles Angels posted their team-record 100th win, with Joe Saunders pitching six sharp innings and Mike Napoli homering Sunday in a 7-0 win over the Texas Rangers.

The Angels (100-62) take baseball’s best record into the first round of the playoffs against the World Series champion Boston Red Sox beginning Wednesday in Anaheim.

The Angels became the first major league team since the 2005 St. Louis Cardinals to reach 100 wins, and the first AL team to do so since the 2004 New York Yankees.

Los Angeles won the AL West by 21 games over the Rangers, becoming the first team to win a division by at least 20 or more games since the 1999 Cleveland Indians, who finished 21 1/2 games ahead of Chicago that year.

Saunders (17-7) tuned up for the playoffs by allowing two hits, striking out a career-high nine and walking none. The All-Star lefty improved to 3-0 in his last four starts.
