ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Vernon Wells hit a tiebreaking solo homer, Mark Trumbo hit his first career grand slam and Peter Bourjos also went deep, leading the Los Angeles Angels to a 10-6 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night.

Jered Weaver (16-7) tied a career high for wins, despite allowing six runs and eight hits over five innings and throwing 111 pitches a day after attending his grandfather’s funeral in Oregon. His AL-best 2.28 ERA ballooned to 2.49 after he surrendered six or more runs for the third time in his last five starts — after allowing no more than four in any of his first 24 outings.
