The Angels beat the Twins 7-0 late Tuesday night in Anaheim in the opening game of a three-game series. Minnesota has been outscored 24-3 in their past three games of the road trip.

The Angels broke the game open with a five-run sixth inning against starter Kyle Gibson, including a three-run home run from Chris Iannetta. Gibson finished the game allowing six runs on ten hits and one walk while striking out six.
