Wilson’s 2 HRs, 5 RBIs help Angels beat Blue Jays 7-2, Matsui also homers

Wilson’s 2 HRs, 5 RBIs lead Angels over Blue Jays

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Bobby Wilson had his first two-homer game in the major leagues and drove in a career-high five runs, and the Los Angeles Angels lost two arguments with plate umpire Joe West but beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-2 Saturday night.

Hideki Matsui was 4 for 4, including a two-run homer for the Angels.

Ervin Santana (12-8) pitched seven innings and allowed three hits, including a fifth-inning homer by Fred Lewis. The right-hander is 4-0 with a 2.32 ERA in his last four starts against Toronto, including a pair of complete games earlier this season.

Brett Cecil (9-6) gave up seven runs and 10 hits over 5 2-3 innings, including three home runs.

The Angels’ first dispute with West came in the third inning with Los Angeles leading 2-0.

After Bobby Abreu led off with a double, Erick Aybar tried to sacrifice. His bunt was fielded by third baseman Jose Bautista, and the throw arrived at first base the same time as Aybar. The ball popped out of first baseman Lyle Overbay’s glove as Abreu made the wide turn at third and held up.

West ruled that Aybar was outside of the runner’s lane — Aybar was called out and Abreu was sent back to second. The ensuing argument between Angels manager Mike Scioscia and West delayed the game for several minutes.

Scioscia was back on the field in the fourth for another argument with the veteran crew chief. It came after Angels rookie Peter Burjos was hit by an 0-2 pitch on the left elbow and wasn’t allowed to take first because — in West’s judgment — Bourjos didn’t try to get out of the way.

Matsui hit his 18th homer in the second inning after a walk to Mike Napoli.

Wilson, a backup catcher starting his 20th game this season, increased the margin to 5-0 in the fourth with a drive into the lower seats in the left-field corner after single by Howie Kendrick and a double by Matsui.

Wilson gave the Angels a 7-1 lead in the sixth with his fourth home run after a two-out single by Matsui, who had his first four-hit game of the season.

The Angels are 15-5 in the games Wilson has started. His career got off to an inauspicious start on April 23, when he made his big league debut against the Yankees and received a concussion and a sprained left ankle in a collision with Mark Teixeira. The injuries put him on the disabled list for 21 games.

NOTES: Santana reached the 1,000-inning mark in his big league career when he struck out Bautista for the second out in the first. … The Angels reached the 60-win mark in their 118th game, the longest it’s taken them since 2003, when they needed 124 games to do it. … Cecil was 2-0 with a 2.06 ERA over his previous six starts.
