KEY MOMENT: Albert Pujols slammed Ivan Nova's first pitch of the sixth inning over the center-field wall for his American League-leading 24th homer of the season and a 1-1 tie. Two pitches later, Erick Aybar drove his second homer of the season over the center-field wall for a 2-1 lead, and the Angels held on for their fifth win in six games.
AT THE PLATE: Pujols had 13 homers in June, tying a club record for homers in any month with Mo Vaughn (May 2000) and Tim Salmon (June 1996). The homer was also the 1,132nd extra-base hit of Pujols' career, moving him past Tris Speaker for 13th place on baseball's all-time list.
