ANAHEIM – Through their first 20 games, the Angels had scored 63 runs, the fewest in the majors and the fewest in franchise history since the designated hitter was implemented in 1973.
They weren't starved for offense Tuesday.
Pushed ahead by a five-run inning, the Angels defeated the Kansas City Royals, 9-4, in front of 34,428 for their second straight victory .
The rally in the fifth came from rather unexpected sources. After fouling off three of four pitches, Carlos Perez lined a single into center field, bringing in two runs and wrestling back the lead.
