ANAHEIM, Calif. -- 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.

BURNABY, British Columbia -- DeMarre Carroll is ready to start over.A prized free-agent acquisition for the Toronto Raptors last year, Carroll played only 26 regular-season games because of a right knee injury that had to be surgically repaired in January.The small forward worked hard to rejoin the club in time for Torontos run to the NBAs Eastern Conference finals, but wasnt the same player the Raptors signed to be difference-maker from the Atlanta Hawks.And while not yet 100 percent after a month of rest followed by a strenuous summer of rehabilitation, Carroll is looking forward to hitting the reset button.I look at it as basically my first season (with Toronto), the 30-year-old Carroll said as the Raptors opened training camp this week. A new season, a new beginning. Ive just got to come in and get back to playing DeMarre Carroll basketball when Im healthy.Apart from locking up DeMar DeRozan to a long-term contract extension and bringing in Jared Sullinger, the Raptors had a relatively quiet break.However, finally having a healthy Carroll would be a major bonus for a club looking to take the next step.A big difference, DeRozan said. It was tough for us last year to figure out ways to play without him. Even when he was playing early on he was hurt (and) even when came back he wasnt his full self and we still managed to make history.To have him back at the start of camp, start of preseason, to be able to implement him fully is going to give us everything that weve been searching for.The 6-foot-8, 215-pound Carroll only returned to the court for live action last week, and said his offseason regimen included making sure all the proper steps were taken to ensure his knee is ready for the season.We took a hard approach about it and we did itt the right way, said Carroll, who took a month off after the playoffs in hopes of reducing the swelling.ddddddddddddLast season it was more of a rush, trying to get me back. We didnt go through the whole thing we needed to go through to get the knee to where it needs to be. I feel that were on the right track.Carroll, who averaged 11.4 points and 4.7 rebounds last season, came through the first two days of camp unscathed for the Raptors, who open their exhibition schedule on Saturday at Vancouvers Rogers Arena against the Golden State Warriors.(The team) has talked about bringing me along slowly, not trying to kill myself in pre-season, Carroll said. Just be ready and healthy for the first game of the season.Raptors coach Dwane Casey said Carrolls presence on the floor, including his ability to hit from three, helps create openings on a team that is thin at small forward.Really gives us the spacing that we need with Kyle (Lowry) and DeMar handling the ball, attacking of the dribble, Casey said. Thats what we need from him, his spacing and his defensive presence. He did a great job accepting that role last year. He takes us from a good team to a pretty good team when he does that.For his part, Carroll said the mental side of the injury was tough, but something he forced himself to push through.Youve got to stay strong, especially in this league. Nobodys going to feel sorry for you, he said. It can be draining to keep on going through the same thing, having the same setbacks. But Im happy right now because I havent had any setbacks. Ive just got to look at the positives and keep trying to work towards the future. ' ' '
