ANAHEIM, Calif. Lakers Jerseys 2020 . -- Even in a lost season for the Los Angeles Angels, Albert Pujols has still managed to grow his legacy.Pujols hit his 590th career home run and the Angels beat Toronto 6-1 Saturday night, dropping the Blue Jays into a tie for the top two AL wild-card spots.The Blue Jays and Baltimore are even in the playoff race. Seattle, Detroit and Houston are all three games behind in the wild-card chase.Pujols hit his 30th homer. He joined Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez as the only players to reach 30 home runs in at least 14 seasons.Ricky Nolasco (6-15) tossed six shutout innings as the Angels ended a five-game losing streak. It was Nolascos first win against Toronto and he has now recorded wins over every major league team but two -- the Marlins and Indians.They pressured Ricky tonight, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. But he definitely made some pitches and got some big outs. I think he used all of his pitches well.Nolasco put the leadoff batter on base in five innings but was able to make the necessary adjustments in order to pitch out of jams.Its a very tough lineup to face and I didnt want to face them with guys on base right from the get-go, but thats how it was, Nolasco said.Pitch count ran up a little bit. They were fouling of a lot of pitches and laying off a lot of good pitches just because I had to go, basically, straight to work, no get-me-overs or anything that because runners were on base the whole game.Francisco Liriano (7-13) allowed four runs -- two earned -- in six innings. Manager John Gibbons thought the outing was one of his stronger ones, but three errors proved costly and left Liriano laboring.The biggest mistake Liriano made was a slider to Pujols. Ninth on baseballs all-time home run list, he hit a solo drive into the left-field seats in the second.Hes got a good fastball, hes not throwing anything straight and hes got a nice changeup and hes got a slider, Gibbons said. Against a predominantly right-handed hitting team, he pitched good enough to win. We just couldnt score.Mike Trout got two hits and his 90th RBI and Kole Calhoun had two hits and scored twice for the Angels. The Angels capitalized on three infield errors, scoring more than five runs for only fourth time this month.Edwin Encarnacion scored Torontos run in the eighth on pinch hitter Melvin Upton Jr.s sacrifice fly. The Blue Jays stranded 12 and were 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position.TRAINERS ROOMBlue Jays: Josh Donaldson returned to third base for the first time since in six days. Donaldson, who sat out the Blue Jays three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays with an undisclosed hip injury, had previously been in the lineup against Los Angeles as a designated hitter.Angels: RHP Garrett Richards threw off the mound for the first time since being tearing his right ulnar collateral ligament on May 1. He threw 20 pitches in the bullpen and is confident that continued stem cell treatments will allow him to avoid Tommy John surgery and be healthy by spring training. ... C Jett Bandy left the game after the first inning with back spasms. He was replaced by Carlos Perez.UP NEXTBlue Jays: RHP Marcus Stroman (9-8, 4.55 ERA) gets the ball for the conclusion of the four-game series. He is trying to snap a streak of three straight losses. Stroman hasnt faced Los Angeles since 2014 but struggled in two appearances (one start), and is 0-0 with a 14.30 ERA.Angels: RHP Alex Meyer will make his fourth big league start and his fifth big league appearance. Meyer is still looking for his first win (0-3, 8.18) and is coming off a rough outing against the Seattle Mariners, in which he struggled with his fastball command and was forced to throw more changeups than he was comfortable with.

Belfort (24-10) needed just 77 seconds to down Henderson in the headlining bout of Saturdays "UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Henderson" event at Goiania Arena in Goiania, Brazil. The fight served as a rematch of the pairs 2006 meeting, which Henderson won by decision. DENVER -- Its hard to say what was more shocking: Nolan Arenado failing to come through in the clutch or the Gold Glove winner committing a throwing error.Neither happens happen often to the All-Star third baseman, who is generating some MVP buzz for the season hes having.Arenados errant throw paved the way to a game-altering inning as the Colorado Rockies lost 5-3 to the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. He also lined out to end the game with the potential tying runs on base.That spoiled a fine outing by Tyler Anderson (5-6). The rookie allowed five runs -- two earned -- in seven solid innings and is 5-2 with a 3.00 ERA in 12 starts at Coors Field.He ended up getting through seven, so it was a good outing, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said.The slick-fielding Arenado made a costly throwing error in the fourth with the score tied at 2. Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez then delivered two-out, two-run double, and Matt Carpenter added a run-scoring single.We have seen (Arenado) make that play. He makes it look easy and that wasnt an easy play, Weiss said. And then the throw was a little high. It was a tough play.In the ninth, pinch-hitter Ryan Raburn hit a solo homer off Kevin Siegrist to make it 5-3. After allowing a single to Charlie Blackmon, Siegrist struck out DJ LeMahieu before walking Carlos Gonzalez.That brought up Arenado, who flied out to left field to end the game.Arenado drove in a run earlier, giving him an NL-best 124 RBI. He also leads the league in homers (38), which is why Weiss believes Arenado should garner some MVP votes despite playing on a 72-78 squad.One of the best players in the league, Weiss said. But I dont think this will be the last time hes in that conversation.LeMahieu finished 2 for 4 to raise his average to .349 and take a slight lead over Washingtons Daniel Murphy in the NL batting race. Murphy is hitting .348.Martinez labored most of the game. Not with his pitches, but catching his breeath.

It affected him today, for sure.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: There are no plans for surgery on the broken left hand of 1B Mark Reynolds after he was hit by a pitch Sunday, ending his season. Its a tough break for Mark, Weiss said.HOLD THE ONIONSA launched baseball in batting practice left a burger joint in quite a pickle.The Helton Burger Shack located behind the bleachers in left field was closed Monday after a ball broke the glass protecting the prep area.No official word on whose liner actually broke the window pane -- Twitter conversations credited injured Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday -- but it wasnt the restaurants namesake; Todd Helton retired after the 2013 season.BAD BLOOD?The Rockies have some history with Martinez. In July 2015, things got a little heated after he hit LeMahieu with a pitch.Martinez didnt think there was any purpose to a pitch that plunked him Monday night, even though it did sting.I dont think it was any retaliation. That happened last year. Its a new year, Martinez said through a translator. I wouldnt like to think that. I think it just got away.Anderson downplayed it, too.It was a ball that cut and hit him in the shin, he explained.UP NEXTCardinals: With 132 wins, RHP Adam Wainwright (11-9, 4.51 ERA) tries to move closer to tying Dizzy Dean (134) for sixth on the teams career list.Rockies: LHP Jorge De La Rosa (8-8, 5.22) is 4-0 with a 4.01 ERA in four starts against St. Louis at Coors Field.
