ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Jered Weaver has one more start in the way before the real fun begins, and hes been waiting almost five years to get another chance for a World Series ring. In the meantime, Weaver earned his AL-leading 18th victory when the AL West champion Los Angeles Angels beat the Texas Rangers 8-5 on Saturday night. "Its the time of the year where everybody wants to extend their season, and were lucky enough to be able to be a part of that," Weaver said. "Its exciting for sure, but you try not to look too far ahead because weve still got some games to play. "I know from previous playoffs that its all about the team with the momentum. So we cant take these games for granted right now. Weve still got to go out there and produce and get some momentum going." Weaver is 11-2 in his last 18 starts and will make one more regular-season appearance before starting Game 1 of the AL division series next Thursday in his first post-season start since Game 3 of the 2009 ALCS. "I think that having some post-season experience is a plus," he said. "Its obviously been a long time for me, but Im sure Ill feel like Im 23 because of all the adrenaline and stuff. You just try to stay within yourself as much as possible and try to keep your team in the game -- just like you do during the season -- and hopefully the offence takes care of the rest." Albert Pujols reached the 100-RBI mark with a two-run homer and Mike Trout also hit a two-run shot, helping the Angels maintain their 2 1/2 game lead over Baltimore in the race for the best record in the majors. David Freese added a three-run homer in support of Weaver (18-8), who was charged with three runs and five hits in seven-plus innings. Huston Street pitched a perfect ninth for his career-high 39th save and 15th with the Angels. Colby Lewis (10-14) gave up eight runs -- seven earned -- and nine hits in five innings. The Rangers season-best seven-game winning streak came to a resounding end despite Adrian Beltres three doubles, which equaled a career high. Lewis is 0-4 with a whopping 11.51 ERA in his last four starts against the Angels. "I expected to perform a lot better than I did tonight -- plain and simple," he said. Trout made it 3-0 in the third with his 35th homer, after shortstop Elvis Andrus dropped Kole Calhouns popup in short centre field for his 18th error. The two RBIs increased Trouts career-high total to 109, two behind major league leader Adrian Gonzalez. In a span of just five pitches in the fifth, the Angels plated five more runs. Pujols drove Lewis 1-2 delivery off the rock pile in left-centre for his 519th homer, putting him within two of tying Ted Williams, Willie McCovey and newly inducted Hall of Famer Frank Thomas for 18th place on the career list. "I dont play for numbers, guys," Pujols said. "My goal is to help this organization win. And a lot of guys have been getting on base in front of me and giving me the opportunity to drive them in." Howie Kendrick and Erick Aybar followed Pujols homer with singles, and Freese capped the five-run rally with his 10th homer, one more than he had last season in 138 games with St. Louis. The 2011 World Series MVP has 13 RBIs in his last 12 games. HALOS HARDWARE Garrett Richards was named the winner of the Nick Adenhart Award as the Angels top pitcher. He was 13-4 with a 2.61 ERA and 164 strikeouts in 26 starts before he was shelved by a season-ending knee injury last month. POWER SHORTAGE If Beltre doesnt hit at least two home runs in Texas final eight games, it would be the first time since 1980 that the Rangers went an entire non-strike season without anyone on the roster hitting at least 20. Al Oliver and Richie Zisk led the way that year with 19 each. TRAINERS ROOM Angels: Injured RF Josh Hamilton wont play Sunday, marking the first time hell go an entire season without a home run in his home ballpark. All 10 have come on the road. ... RHP Matt Shoemakers status remains in doubt as to whether hell make one more start in preparation for the playoffs. He has missed one turn with a mild left oblique strain, and has yet to throw off a mound. UP NEXT Rangers: Nick Tepesch (5-10, 4.47 ERA) is 3-10 with a 4.72 ERA over his last 17 starts, including a pair of losses to the Angels. Angels: Sunday is the teams final home game of the regular season. Cory Rasmus (3-1, 2.57 ERA) makes his fifth big league start -- all in place of Richards. Fake Sneakers .

Not only does the injury do further damage to the clubs hopes of a first playoff appearance in more than 20 years, it damages the franchises reputation because of how the injury was diagnosed. Lind volunteered the information after Wednesdays 8-7 loss to the Angels. "My mom wanted me to get an MRI, which we hadnt had yet because it wasnt getting any better," said Lind. "I asked for an MRI and it showed it." The fracture is the result of the ball Lind fouled off his foot on June 14 in Baltimore. At the time, he underwent a CT scan, which revealed a deep bruise. Lind said he was told he could not make the injury worse by playing. He pinch hit in games in New York (June 19) and Cincinnati (June 20, 21) before returning to the starting lineup as the designated hitter on June 23. At the time, he acknowledged his return to the starting lineup was expedited in the wake of injuries to Brett Lawrie (fractured right index finger) and Jose Bautista (hamstring). Since that time, Edwin Encarnacion has landed on the disabled list with a Grade-2 strain of his right quadriceps. Its not clear whether the initial CT scan missed the diagnosis or whether Lind was given bad information regarding the consequences of playing with the injury. The bottom line is Linds gone, taking his .320/.389//.dddddddddddd489 (.369/.434/.570 versus right-handed pitchers) slash line with him. "Its not good," he said, in what qualifies as the understatement of the year. The Blue Jays, 1-6 through the Oakland and Anaheim portions of their 10-game, pre-All-Star Break road trip, have a day off on Thursday before settling in to Tampa Bay for three games with the Rays. A roster move will have to be made with Dan Johnson making the most sense. Johnson, 34, is a left-handed hitter whos best served as a designated hitter. He can occasionally play first base. He is a poor mans Lind, racking up more than three years of major league service time spread over eight seasons with four organizations. In 92 games with Triple-A Buffalo this year, Johnson is hitting .251/.405/.479 with 17 home runs and 19 doubles. He is best remembered for a home run he hit off Yankees reliever Cory Wade on the final day of the 2011 regular season. Johnsons Tampa Bay Rays overcame a 7-0 deficit as the Boston Red Sox, up in Baltimore, completed their fried chicken and beer-induced implosion that cost manager Terry Francona his job. The Rays would beat the Yankees in 12 innings on an Evan Longoria home run and enter the playoffs in improbable fashion. Without Lind, Encarnacion and Lawrie for the foreseeable future and with Bautista playing through continued pain in his hamstring, the Jays are beaten up as they get beaten on a near daily basis.
