Brian Goodwin drove in the first run of the game with a bases-loaded walk. The second run scored when David Fletcher grounded into a double play, and Tommy La Stella's RBI single made it 3-0.

The Angels added a run in the third inning on an RBI fielder's choice by Calhoun, and their fifth run came on an RBI single in the seventh by Pujols.

Los Angeles starter Matt Harvey managed to work his way through five scoreless innings before finding trouble in the sixth. He walked the first two batters of the inning and was replaced by reliever Justin Anderson.
