Justin Upton and Albert Pujols hit back-to-back homers in the fifth inning, and the Los Angeles Angels completed a three-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers with a 6-0 victory Wednesday.
Kole Calhoun hit a leadoff homer and rookie Jaime Barria (7-7) pitched five-hit ball into the sixth inning for the Angels. Los Angeles was in a 1-6 skid before getting back to .500 in this series with the struggling Tigers, who scored only eight runs on an 0-6 California road trip.
Upton connected on a full-count changeup from Blaine Hardy (4-4) for a two-run homer in the fifth shortly before Pujols added his 632nd career homer.
