Driving in three runs with a three-bagger and an infield single, Daryl Sconiers helped the Angels to a 6-3 victory over the Blue Jays. His two-run triple came in the seventh inning and the single came in the fifth. Bobby Grich belted a two-run homer in the third, following Rod Carew's 2,500th career hit. John Harris blasted a solo round-tripper in the second. [The Sporting News]
