Albert cleans up, powers Halos past D-backs

Albert Pujols’ 11th home run in his last 18 games lifted the Angels to a 4-1 win over the D-backs at Angel Stadium on Tuesday night. His high-arcing two-run blast into the rocks beyond the center-field wall in the sixth inning and David Freese’s two-run shot to right in the eighth gave the Angels a split of the two-game series.

For Harvey, the tide definitely turning

Matt Harvey, who has struggled in three of his last four starts, was in vintage form on Tuesday night. He allowed four hits, pitched out of three jams without giving up a run and finished his performance with a flourish, recording two of his six strikeouts to open the seventh inning. He didn’t walk a batter.
