MLB: LA Angels 3, Baltimore 2

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.
