Twins halt streaking Angels 7-5

Jake Cave had a career-high three hits, including a home run, and the Minnesota Twins held on to beat the Angels 7-5 Sunday.

Eduardo Escobar doubled twice to take over the major league lead with 26 and the Minnesota bullpen threw 3 2/3 shutout innings before a two-run single by Albert Pujols in the ninth.

The Angels had the go-ahead run at the plate against closer Fernando Rodney, but Zack Cozart popped out.

Fernando Romero (3-2) had control issues from the outset, but managed to complete five innings to win for the first time in six starts.
