ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Joe Saunders showed everyone that he's ready to help the Los Angeles Angels' pennant drive.

The rookie pitched effectively into the eighth inning, and Garret Anderson and Mike Napoli homered Friday night in a 4-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays that extended the Angels' winning streak to six games.

"It'll mature you pretty quick, knowing that every game is critical," Saunders said after his 11th major league start. "It puts a lot of pressure on you, but it's also a lot of fun."

The two-time defending AL West champs, who were a season-worst 11 games under .500 on May 22, are now a season-high 11 over at 76-65. It's the biggest reversal during one season in franchise history, but the Angels still trail division-leading Oakland by 5½ games with seven meetings left during the final 10 days of the season.

GO ANGELS

Well he's kind of had it in me ever since i accidentally ran over his dog. Actually, replace "accidentally" with "repeatedly" and replace "dog" with "son".

Rookie Jered Weaver lasted 5 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on six hits, but still earned the 4-3 victory Sunday, thanks to 3 1/3 scoreless innings from the bullpen. The last inning came from standout closer Francisco Rodriguez, who earned a milestone save.
