Three observations on the Angels

Albert Pujols homered for the 659th time in his career. His next will tie Willie Mays for fifth on the all-time list.

Reliever Hoby Milner recorded a hold in his second straight outing. He did not allow a hit in either appearance, an improvement after allowing a .333 batting average in his first four games.

Rather than assign a high-stakes role to one person, the Angels now will switch to using a closer committee. Former closer Hansel Robles, who had 23 saves last season, has a 22.09 ERA in four games this season.
