Back-to-back homers by Roy Smalley and Glenn Adams highlighted a three-run first inning that propelled the Twins to a 5-2 triumph over the Angels and ended their nine-game losing streak. Smalley's blast was a two-run shot and Adams followed with his belt. The Twins closed out the scoring in the eighth with a two-run pinch-homer by Jose Morales. [The Sporting News]
