ANAHEIM -- Albert Pujols knocked an RBI double down the left-field line for his 2,999th career hit in the second inning Thursday. Each of his next three plate appearances warranted a standing ovation. But alas, history didn't come on this night.
Though Pujols didn't notch his 3,000th hit, the Angels racked up 15 knocks, plowing past the Orioles, 12-3, to complete a three-game sweep at Angel Stadium.
Mike Trout went 2-for-5 with a triple and two RBIs. He went 3-for-8 with a homer, six walks and three RBIs in the series.
