MLB roundup: Angels hammer Dodgers

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Mike Napoli homered twice and drove in a career-high five runs to power the Angels over the Dodgers.

The Angels took two of three in the "Freeway Series," including Friday night's opener.

Napoli hit a three-run home run off Derek Lowe (2-4) in the second inning and added a solo shot against Scott Proctor in the sixth for his 10th homer. Napoli had an RBI single in the fourth and finished 3-for-4.

Jered Weaver (3-5) held the Dodgers to two runs through 5 1/3 innings. He gave up five hits, struck out seven and walked two. Relievers Jose Arredondo, Justin Speir and Chris Bootcheck shut out the Dodgers the rest of the way.

REDS 6, INDIANS 4: At Cincinnati, with two well-timed swings, Adam Dunn and Joey Votto gave untouchable Cliff Lee his comeuppance. Dunn homered for the fourth straight game, and Votto finished off Lee with the first pinch-hit homer of his career Sunday, leading Cincinnati to a three-game sweep of Cleveland. No one had treated Lee (6-1) that way all season. The left-hander came into the game on an amazing run, having allowed only four earned runs and one homer all season. Cincinnati's left-handed swingers got the best of him.

ASTROS 5, RANGERS 4: At Arlington, Texas, Brandon Backe pitched into the seventh inning, Miguel Tejada had three hits and the Houston Astros beat the Texas Rangers 5-4 Sunday. Backe (3-5) retired the first nine batters of the game and didn't give up a run until allowing consecutive homers to Milton Bradley and David Murphy in the seventh.

WHITE SOX 13, GIANTS 8: At San Francisco, Nick Swisher hit a tiebreaking three-run double in the eighth as a pinch-hitter, lifting the White Sox to their fifth straight win. Chicago got three straight one-out singles off Tyler Walker (1-2) in the eighth to load the bases. He then struck out Brian Anderson before Swisher stepped into the box and produced his second hit of the series.

DIAMONDBACKS 4, TIGERS 0: At Phoenix, Randy Johnson pitched seven scoreless innings for his 288th career victory, and Arizona improved to a major league-best 28-16. The 44-year-old Johnson (4-1) went a season-long seven innings to win his fourth straight decision, allowing six hits and a walk and striking out five. Detroit starter Nate Robertson (1-5) retired 10 of the first 11 men he faced before giving up a pair of two-out hits in the fourth.
