Toronto’s Ricky Romero shuts down the Angels

Facing their third left-handed starter in three days, the Angels didn’t have much left.

Toronto’s Ricky Romero mostly stifled the Angels in seven sharp innings during the Blue Jays’ 4-1 victory Sunday at Angel Stadium.

In his first start since signing a five-year, $30.1-million contract extension, the former Los Angeles Roosevelt High and Cal State Fullerton standout held the Angels to six hits and one run.

Adam Lind homered off Angels starter Dan Haren (1-3) and Aaron Hill drove in two runs for the Blue Jays, who won for the second time in the three-game series.

Mike Napoli hit his team-leading 19th homer to lead off the fifth, and the Angels had two on with two out in the sixth after Toronto third baseman Edwin Encarnacion made a throwing error. But Romero (10-7) got Maicer Izturis to ground out to Encarnacion on the next pitch.

One potential Angels rally was snuffed in the seventh inning when Peter Bourjos grounded into a double play and a subsequent threat was quashed in the eighth when Howie Kendrick grounded into another double play.

Former Angel Kevin Gregg pitched a perfect ninth, striking out all three batters he faced, for his 27th save.
