Angels Rally Late To Defeat Rockies, 5-2

ANAHEIM (AP) — Albert Pujols stole second base and scored the tiebreaking run on Johnny Giavotella's single in the eighth inning as the Angels sent the Colorado Rockies to their 10th consecutive defeat, 5-2, Tuesday night.

Matt Joyce drove in three runs and had a two-run double in the eighth for the Angels, who have won five of seven.

C.J. Wilson (2-2) pitched eight innings of five-hit ball for the Angels, striking out six and walking one to end his five start winless streak. Huston Street pitched the ninth for his 11th save.

Corey Dickerson had an RBI double for the Rockies, who have lost 16 of 20 since their 7-2 start.

Pujols snapped his 0-for-13 skid with an eighth-inning leadoff single against Rafael Betancourt (0-1).
