BALTIMORE, April 29 (UPI) -- Back-to-back solo seventh-inning homers by Torii Hunter and Kendry Morales gave the LA Angels a 3-2 victory Wednesday against Baltimore and a three-game sweep.

Hunter hit his eighth homer leading off the top of the seventh inning against Baltimore starter Koji Uehara to snap a 1-1 tie, and Morales followed with his third shortly after Uehara was drilled in the chest by a line drive off the bat of Gary Matthews.

Uehara (2-2) yielded three earned runs and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings with no walks and five strikeouts.

Morales hit an RBI triple in the fourth, while Hunter and Jeff Mathis joined him with two hits for the Angels, who have won four of six.

Winner Shane Loux (1-2) gave up an earned run and five hits in six innings.

Closer Brian Fuentes, the last of four LA pitchers, earned his fifth save.

Baltimore got one RBI each from Nick Markakis and Aubrey Huff, while two players had two hits
