Indians 4, Angels 3

Shelley Duncan homered twice and drove in four runs while Josh Tomlin won his third straight decision, leading the Cleveland Indians past the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 on Tuesday night.

Duncan had an RBI single in the first, a solo homer in the fourth and a two-run homer in the sixth. Both home runs came off Scott Kazmir (8-14).

Tomlin (4-3) gave up three runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings. Chris Perez pitched the ninth for his 20th save in 24 chances. Perez retired the first batter, but Howie Kendrick walked and went to third on pinch-hitter Juan Rivera's single. Perez then struck out Peter Bourjos and after a passed ball that allowed pinch-runner Brandon Wood to move to second, Alberto Callaspo flied out to end the game.

Torii Hunter's RBI double put Los Angeles on top in the first before Duncan's run-scoring single tied it in the bottom of the inning. Duncan led off the fourth with a blast and struck again after Shin-Soo Choo led off the sixth with a walk.

Duncan also hit two homers and drove in four runs while playing for the New York Yankees on July 22, 2007 against Tampa Bay.

Kazmir lasted 5 2/3 innings, allowing four runs and seven hits.

The Angels scored twice in the seventh on Bobby Wilson's RBI double and Bourjos' RBI triple.
