ANAHEIM, Calif. - The Los Angeles Angels spent an hour after their shutout victory over Seattle waiting in the clubhouse, their eyes glued to televisions while the Oakland Athletics blew a ninth-inning lead. When the As were finally finished, the Angels roared up the tunnel and onto their home field, goggles in place and champagne bottles in hand. After a five-year wait and a few more minutes on ice, the Angels are AL West champions again. Los Angeles clinched the division title Wednesday night, getting seven dominant innings of one-hit ball from C.J. Wilson in a 5-0 victory over the Mariners. "Its a great feeling," said Albert Pujols, headed to his first AL post-season in his third year with the Angels. "But at the end of the day, its a better feeling when you get to hold that trophy. And thats what were waiting for." C.J. Cron hit a three-run homer for the major league-leading Angels (95-57), who wrapped up their first division crown since 2009 when Oakland lost to Texas. The Angels charged the field afterward, celebrating with several thousand fans who stuck around chanting "Lets go Rangers!" and "M-V-P!" for a grinning Mike Trout. "Everybody just wanted it to happen tonight, so were lucky to get to celebrate with our fans," said Wilson, who struck out seven. "I feel like weve been special for three years. We just havent put it all together until now." The Angels had already secured a playoff spot Monday, capping a dominant run through the summer and into September. They have won 12 of 14, and lead Baltimore (92-60) by three games for home-field advantage throughout the post-season. "Theyve won so many games in such a short amount of time, and its really a credit to every guy," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia, who won his sixth AL West title in 11 seasons. "Were going to enjoy the champagne and then go try to win tomorrow." The Angels werent assured of the clinching win until their five-run seventh inning broke up a pitchers duel between Wilson and Seattle rookie James Paxton. Howie Kendrick sparked the rally by scoring from first base when Chris Denorfia misplayed David Freeses single to right for an error. Wilson (13-9) earned his third straight victory in intimidating fashion, allowing only three walks and Justin Smoaks single in a major improvement from recent starts. He escaped his only jam in the seventh, stranding two runners. Paxton (6-3) yielded four hits and had eight strikeouts for the Mariners, who have lost six of eight. Seattle managed just one hit and is two games behind Kansas City and Oakland for the second AL wild card. "Its tough, but games like this happen," Paxton said. "Thats just the way baseball works. Sometimes the other teams get the breaks. We just put this game behind us. Theres time left here for us to gain some ground on those guys. Its not over til its over." Paxton was even more dominant than Wilson, retiring 17 of the Angels first 18 hitters. Paxton allowed only two bouncing singles in the first six innings while striking out Trout three times. Paxton kept the Mariners in contention until his teammates made two errors and reliever Danny Farquhar flopped in the seventh inning. Farquhar relieved Paxton with two outs and two runners on, but Cron mashed his 11th homer into the fake rock pile behind centre field. Kole Calhoun followed with an RBI double as the Angels batted around. GOLDEN SOMBRERO Trout appears to be the likely AL MVP, but he struck out four times, including his fourth K to end the seventh, tying Baltimores Chris Davis for the AL lead with 173 strikeouts.

United stayed silent Monday, refusing officially to guarantee Moyes future at Old Trafford amid widespread reports in online stories by British newspapers that his 11-month tenure was about to end after losing the support of the board. It appears Moyes position has become untenable since Sunday, when United lost 2-0 to Everton in the Premier League to ensure Englands biggest club over the last two decades will miss out on Champions League qualification for the first time in 19 years. It also left United seventh in the league, a season after winning its 20th championship by 11 points, and on course for its lowest league finish since 1990. Even being the so-called "Chosen One" -- a nickname given to Moyes after he was hand-picked for the position by predecessor Alex Ferguson -- is unlikely to save the 50-year-old Scot, who signed a six-year deal at a club famed for preaching the values of stability. Leading British bookmakers have all slashed their odds on Moyes being removed and many of Tuesdays newspapers are reporting Ryan Giggs, a club great who is on the coaching staff at United, could take temporary charge until the end of the season. "Theyre going to have to clarify this position quickly," said former United defender Gary Neville, who described the clubs handling of the situation as "repulsive." "The average manager gets sacked every 12 months and Ive always felt Manchester United should be different, hold themselves up as a club that basically stands against whats happening in the game." Nevilles brother, Gary, is a member of Moyes coaching team. Moyes has been unable to continue tthe success of Ferguson, who ended his 27-year reign at the end of last season after winning the league for his 38th major trophy as United manager.dddddddddddd Moyes guided United to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, losing to Bayern Munich, but the teams domestic form has been woeful by its high standards. United is 23 points behind current leader Liverpool, 13 adrift of the Champions League places, and has slumped to a string of humiliating losses including to fierce rivals Liverpool and Manchester City at home. United has been defeated a club-record 11 times in the league and 10 times in 22 matches in all competitions in 2014. The deposed champions appear ready to spend considerable sums over the summer to strengthen its squad but their American owners, the Glazer family, may not be willing to trust Moyes to oversee such heavy spending. He was indecisive in the transfer window in the last off-season, bringing in only Marouane Fellaini from former club Everton for 27.5 million pounds ($43 million), and the Belgium midfielder has been a disappointment. United broke its club record transfer fee to sign Juan Mata for 37.1 million pounds ($61.2 million) in January but Moyes has been unable to regularly play the Spain playmaker in his best position. Dutch coach Louis van Gaal and Borussia Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp have been linked with any possible vacancy. With fan backing appearing to ebb away, Moyes said after the loss to Everton that United was "on track" in its transition period post-Ferguson. "We are rebuilding," he said, "we have got things we want to do. "The supporters have been incredibly behind the team and supported the team throughout. They realize it has been a difficult season ... They understand it has not been good, I recognize it has not been good, it needs to be better."
