MLB: LA Angels 5, Toronto 4

TORONTO, Aug. 21 (UPI) -- Homers by Aaron Hill and Vernon Wells helped Toronto build a five-run lead Friday and the Blue Jays survived a shaky ninth to edge the Los Angeles Angels 5-4.

Los Angeles lost its second in a row after having won eight out of nine.

The Blue Jays scored four times in the first, with Hill hitting a solo homer and Jose Bautista contributing a two-run single.

Wells then gave Toronto a 5-0 advantage with a home run in the third and the Blue Jays took a shutout into the seventh.

Marc Rzepczynski (2-3) worked 6 1/3 innings to get the win, giving up just three hits to the normally high-scoring Angels.

Los Angeles trailed by four heading into the ninth, but Torii Hunter and Vladimir Guerrero reached on singles and both scored on a homer by Mike Napoli off Casey Janssen.

Howie Kendrick then doubled with two away, but Bobby Abreu grounded out to first to end the game. That allowed Janssen to escape with his first save.
