ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Trevor Plouffe hit a three-run homer, Byron Buxton and Robbie Grossman also homered and the Minnesota Twins beat the slumping Los Angeles Angels 9-4 on Monday night.

Joe Mauer had two hits while reaching base for the 25th consecutive game for the AL-worst Twins (20-43), who battered Jered Weaver (5-6) in their highest-scoring performance of the season.

Ricky Nolasco (3-4) yielded three runs over six innings in his second victory since April 21 for Minnesota, which won consecutive games for the second time in June.

Johnny Giavotella homered and had a career high-tying four hits for the Angels, who committed three errors. They dropped to a season-worst 10 games below .500 with their eighth loss in 10 games.
