ANAHEIM – Johnny Giavotella's three-run home run capped a five-run fifth inning, propelling the Los Angeles Angels to a 9-4 win over the Kansas City Royals Tuesday night at Angel Stadium.
It was Giavotella's first extra-base hit of the season, the second baseman struggling with a .136 average going into the game. And was just the ninth career homer for Giavotella, who is in his sixth major league season. He hit a career-high four homers last year.
