ANAHEIM -- Albert Pujols hit a home run last night and a home run the night before, but he will not play tonight at Angel Stadium, in what Angels manager Mike Scioscia described as a routine day of rest for the 35-year-old.
C.J. Cron will start at first base and hit fifth. David Murphy will be the designated (and cleanup) hitter. Jered Weaver opposes Chicago's Jeff Samardzija in a 7:05 p.m. start.
Scioscia announced before the game that rookie right-hander Nick Tropeano will start tomorrow's series finale against the White Sox.
