Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Albert Pujols homered and knocked in three runs as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim powered past the Texas Rangers, 7-4, in the rubber match of a three-game series at Angel Stadium.

Bobby Wilson also went deep and finished with two RBI for the Angels, who had lost three of their last four.

Mike Trout added a pair of hits and a run scored in the victory. He has now scored a run in 14 straight games, setting an Angels franchise and American League rookie record.

Dan Haren (7-8) made his return from the disabled list and allowed two runs on three hits and three walks through six innings to earn the win. He had been sidelined since July 3 with lower back stiffness.

Matt Harrison (12-5) surrendered four runs on eight hits and two walks over six-plus innings to take the loss for Texas, which had won six of its last nine.
