08/12/2007 - Anaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chone Figgins went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer, as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim completed a three-game sweep of the Minnesota Twins with a 6-2 victory.

Angels starter Jered Weaver (8-5) pitched 7 1/3 strong innings, allowing just two runs on five hits to go along with four strikeouts and no walks.

Orlando Cabrera went 3-for-5 with a run batted in for the American League West-leading Angels, who have won six of seven overall.

Boof Bonser started for Minnesota and gave up five runs on nine hits in 5 2/3 innings. The struggling Bonser (5-9) is now winless in his last 11 starts, going 0-7 in that span.

Jason Bartlett went 1-for-3 with a triple and knocked in two runs for the Twins, who have lost four straight and six of their last seven.

The home team grabbed a 1-0 lead in the second inning after Casey Kotchman singled home Garret Anderson, who doubled to start the frame.

The Angels scored twice in the fifth to up their lead to three runs. Reggie Willits and Figgins hit consecutive singles before Cabrera's double plated a run. Vladimir Guerrero was then intentionally walked and Anderson grounded into a fielder's choice to plate Figgins.

A sacrifice fly by Bartlett in the sixth got Minnesota on the board while Figgins belted a two-run homer in the home half of the inning to make it 5-1.

Alexi Casilla singled with one out in the eighth and Justin Speier came into to relieve Weaver. Speier managed to strike out Jason Tyner, but gave up a triple to Bartlett that scored Casilla to make it a three-run game.

Jeff Mathis led off the bottom of the eighth with a home run to make it 6-2 in favor of the Angels.
