LAst Night's Action: Angels Soaked in Cleveland

Cleveland Indians defeat LA Angels 9-5. What in the world has happened to Angel starter Dan Haren? For a fifth consecutive start he gave up four or more runs.
It was death by paper cut for Haren. Shin-Soo Choo led off the bottom of the first with a triple and scored on a Jason Kipnis single. A Shelley Duncan sacrifice fly and and Jack Hannahan double scored two in the second. Shelley Duncan hit a solo homer in the fourth.
The Angels kept it together and took a 5-4 lead in the fifth on a throwing error by third baseman Hannahan and two-run homers by Mike Trout and Albert Pujols.
But Haren and reliever Hisanori Takahashi aided by Pujols' throwing error gave the lead right back to the Tribe. LaTroy Hawkins and Jordan Walden each gave up a run in relief. No relief was the one hour, 41 minute rain delay in the ninth inning.
LA Dodgers defeat Cincinnati Reds 3-1. James Loney hitting, a suicide squeeze (sort of) and Chris Capuano. Oh my!
Lakers Update. After signing guard Darius Morris to a qualifying offer reportedly worth just over $900,000, the rumor mill was running wild with for the Lakers.
Word came from Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski that the Orlando Magic were keying in on Andrew Bynum in a trade deal for Dwight Howard. This despite Howard's insistence on being traded to the Brooklyn Nets.

Both the Lakers and Magic would want assurances from both players that they would sign long-term deals after their current deals expire at the end of this season.
On Tuesday evening, NBA.com's David Aldridge reported that the Lakers have quietly entered into the conversation to nab free agent point guard Steve Nash. The 38-year old has been wooed by the Toronto Raptors and New York Knicks.
According to Aldridge, with the Lakers over the salary cap they can either offer Nash an exception at just north of $3 million or do a sign-and-trade with the Phoenix Suns.
However the Dallas Mavericks could also show interest in Nash since they just lost out on Deron Williams who opted to remain with the Nets.
