Reliever Anthony Swarzak (3-3) pitched five innings of one-hit shutout ball for Minnesota.

The Angels scored four runs in the third on Peter Bourjos’ homer, Torii Hunter’s two-run single and Alberto Callaspo’s single to take a 4-3 lead.

Pineiro gave up seven runs and seven hits in four innings and has allowed 22 earned runs in 13 innings over his last four starts.
