TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) Albert Pujols collected his first two hits since offseason foot surgery, Mike Trout tripled and doubled, and the Los Angeles Angels roughed up Scott Kazmir in a 13-13, nine-inning tie with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday.

Pujols, who had been 0 for 5 in two games, followed his RBI single up the middle in the first with a run-scoring bloop single to right an inning later on Kazmir's final pitch.

Trout's slicing triple to right also came off Kazmir, who allowed five runs and six hits with two walks while getting four outs.

Angels starter Jered Weaver wasn't any better. Doc Pedersen, Austin Barnes and Scott Van Slyke all homered off Weaver, who was charged with five runs and six hits in 2 2-3 innings.

Weaver, who had a career-worst 4.64 ERA last year amid hip pain, topped out at 81 mph with his fastball in his second start.
