Weaver Wins 16th As Angels Rout Indians, 12-3

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jered Weaver became the AL's first 16-game winner, and the Los Angeles Angels did all their damage against Danny Salazar in one inning for their fifth straight win, 12-3, over the Cleveland Indians on Monday in a makeup game.

Albert Pujols hit a three-run homer in the ninth for the Angels, who hit four homers and are a major league- best 88-55.

Weaver (16-8) allowed three runs and six hits in six innings. The steady right-hander improved to 7-1 in 11 career starts at Progressive Field.

Kole Calhoun hit a two-run homer and David Freese had a three-run shot in the fifth off Salazar (6-7), who shut out Detroit last week and had not given up a run in 21 consecutive innings.

Los Angeles has won 20 of 26 and leads the AL West by 7 1/2 games.
