Upton homers, drives in 3 to lift Angels past Padres 7-3

Justin Upton had three hits, including a home run for the second straight night, and drove in three runs to lead the Angels to a 7-3 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night.

Eric Young Jr. tripled and had two RBIs, and rookie Taylor Ward had two hits, including an RBI double in his first major league at-bat, as the Angels won their second in a row over San Diego.

Upton crushed a 1-1 pitch from Brett Kennedy 435 feet into the left-center field bleachers for his 26th homer of the season to make it 5-1 in the fifth inning.
