DETROIT (AP) - Mark Trumbo homered and drove in a career-high five runs to lead the Los Angeles Angels over the Detroit Tigers 12-7 on Thursday.
Trumbo also tripled, doubled and scored three times in the rookie's fourth three-hit game. Needing just a single for the cycle, he grounded out leading off the ninth inning.
Bobby Cassevah (1-0) worked 2 1-3 scoreless innings of relief for the win.
Trumbo hit a two-run homer in the Angels' three-run second. He tripled in the fourth and doubled in the seventh.
Tigers manager Jim Leyland was ejected in the third for arguing that a pitch had hit Austin Jackson, and things got hot in the fourth when Brad Penny argued with catcher Victor Martinez.
Penny (7-8) gave up seven runs and nine hits in 3 1-3 innings.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Matt Harrison worked into the eighth inning to cap his unbeaten July for AL West-leading Texas and outpitched Scott Baker.
Harrison (9-7) allowed one run over 7 1-3 innings with two strikeouts and a walk. The left-hander won all three of his decisions in his five starts this month.
After Yoshinori Tateyama and Arthur Rhodes retired the only batters they faced, Neftali Feliz rebounded from his two earlier flops in the series with a perfect ninth for his 21st save in 26 chances.
Baker (8-6) struck out four with no walks while allowing two runs over seven innings in his second start since returning from the disabled list because of a right flexor strain. The right-hander was 6-1 with a 1.50 ERA his previous seven starts, including five scoreless innings in his return Saturday against Detroit.

Joakim Soria worked the ninth for his 19th save.
Beckett (9-4) gave up four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out eight. The Red Sox had won six of seven to move three games ahead of New York in the AL East.
