Los Angeles Angels

The Minnesota Twins have acquired pitcher Hector Santiago a minor leaguer from the Los Angeles Angels for right-handers Ricky Nolasco and Alex Meyer and cash.

Los Angeles Angels rookie Ji-Man Choi (whose name rhymes with He-Man, we think) knocked his first-ever dinger Monday night. Nice job, Ji-Man! But when he finished rounding the bases and returned to the dugout, his teammates all ignored him. Baseball players, man.

C.J. Cron and Jett Bandy drove in three runs apiece in the Los Angeles Angels' 10-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night.

Johnny Giavotella hit a two-run homer as the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Minnesota Twins 5-4 on Tuesday night.

Trevor Plouffe hit a three-run homer, Byron Buxton and Robbie Grossman also homered and the Minnesota Twins beat the slumping Los Angeles Angels 9-4 on Monday.

The Los Angeles Angels have been winning lately with contributions from different players each game. On Sunday, everyone took a turn.

Albert Pujols homered and hit a tiebreaking, two-run double in the ninth inning for his 2,500th hit, leading the Los Angeles Angels over Minnesota 8-5 Saturday night for their third straight win over the Twins.

Kole Calhoun had three hits and four runs, sliding into home for the go-ahead score in the 10th inning to give the Angels a 7-6 victory Friday over the Minnesota Twins.

David Freese had two doubles and an RBI and pinch-hitter Chris Iannetta's sacrifice fly in the ninth inning lifted the Los Angeles Angels to a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

Albert Pujols is thrilled to have a reason to forget about his first two disappointing seasons with the Los Angeles Angels. His club is on a roll this summer, and he's hoping the ride extends all the way to October.
