ANAHEIM, Calif. — – Kyle Hendricks<\/a> threw seven shutout innings, Chris Taylor<\/a> and Yo\u00e1n Moncada hit three-run homers, and the Los Angeles Angels<\/a> scored all of their runs with two outs in a 12-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins<\/a> on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Hendricks (7-9) gave up four hits, struck out six and walked one in his best start of the season, throwing 58 of 80 pitches for strikes. Right-hander Zabby Matthews (4-5) took the loss, giving up five runs and seven hits in 4 innings.<\/p>\n

The Angels had 17 hits and went 8 for 17 with runners in scoring position. Leadoff man Mike Trout<\/a> and Moncada each scored three runs. Luis Rengifo<\/a> delivered two clutch hits, a two-out, two-run single in the first inning and a two-out RBI single in the fifth, as the Angels built a 5-0 lead.<\/p>\n

The Angels blew open the game with four runs in the sixth and three in the seventh. Taylor followed Taylor Ward’s RBI single with a three-run homer to center in the sixth and Moncada followed singles by Sebastian Rivero<\/a> and Bryce Teodosio<\/a> with a three-run shot, his 12th of the season, to right.<\/p>\n

Twins infielder Ryan Fitzgerald<\/a>, who threw a scoreless eighth inning, broke up the shutout with a two-run homer in the ninth.<\/p>\n

Angels right fielder Jo Adell<\/a>, who is fourth in the American League with 35 homers and seventh with 94 RBI, was scratched from the lineup because of vertigo for the second straight game.<\/p>\n

Key moment<\/p>\n

The Twins threatened in the sixth by putting two on with one out, but Hendricks stopped any hopes of a comeback by getting Trevor Larnach<\/a> to pop out to third and Luke Keaschall<\/a> to fly to left, preserving a 5-0 lead.<\/p>\n

Key stat<\/p>\n

Trout has gone a career-high 119 plate appearances and 27 games without a homer since hitting his 398th on Aug. 6. His previous long drought was 117 plate appearances in 2015.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Twins right-hander Taj Bradley<\/a> (6-7, 4.92 ERA) will oppose Angels right-hander Jose Soriano<\/a> (10-10, 4.07 ERA) in Wednesday’s series finale.br\/]<\/p>\n
