Scott Downs completed the shutout with two no-hit innings for his seventh save as the Angels won for the sixth time in eight games and claimed the opener of a three-game set.

Howie Kendrick homered while Erick Aybar and Alberto Callaspo also provided RBI for the Angels.

Cleveland's Ubaldo Jimenez (7-7) absorbed the loss, issuing three runs on eight hits over 7 2/3 frames. Sin-Choo Shoo had two of the Indians' hits.
