ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Even in a lost season for the Los Angeles Angels, Albert Pujols has still managed to grow his legacy.Pujols hit his 590th career home run and the Angels beat Toronto 6-1 Saturday night, dropping the Blue Jays into a tie for the top two AL wild-card spots.The Blue Jays and Baltimore are even in the playoff race. Seattle, Detroit and Houston are all three games behind in the wild-card chase.Pujols hit his 30th homer. He joined Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez as the only players to reach 30 home runs in at least 14 seasons.Ricky Nolasco (6-15) tossed six shutout innings as the Angels ended a five-game losing streak. It was Nolascos first win against Toronto and he has now recorded wins over every major league team but two -- the Marlins and Indians.They pressured Ricky tonight, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. But he definitely made some pitches and got some big outs. I think he used all of his pitches well.Nolasco put the leadoff batter on base in five innings but was able to make the necessary adjustments in order to pitch out of jams.Its a very tough lineup to face and I didnt want to face them with guys on base right from the get-go, but thats how it was, Nolasco said.Pitch count ran up a little bit. They were fouling of a lot of pitches and laying off a lot of good pitches just because I had to go, basically, straight to work, no get-me-overs or anything that because runners were on base the whole game.Francisco Liriano (7-13) allowed four runs -- two earned -- in six innings. Manager John Gibbons thought the outing was one of his stronger ones, but three errors proved costly and left Liriano laboring.The biggest mistake Liriano made was a slider to Pujols. Ninth on baseballs all-time home run list, he hit a solo drive into the left-field seats in the second.Hes got a good fastball, hes not throwing anything straight and hes got a nice changeup and hes got a slider, Gibbons said. Against a predominantly right-handed hitting team, he pitched good enough to win. We just couldnt score.Mike Trout got two hits and his 90th RBI and Kole Calhoun had two hits and scored twice for the Angels. The Angels capitalized on three infield errors, scoring more than five runs for only fourth time this month.Edwin Encarnacion scored Torontos run in the eighth on pinch hitter Melvin Upton Jr.s sacrifice fly. The Blue Jays stranded 12 and were 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position.TRAINERS ROOMBlue Jays: Josh Donaldson returned to third base for the first time since in six days. Donaldson, who sat out the Blue Jays three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays with an undisclosed hip injury, had previously been in the lineup against Los Angeles as a designated hitter.Angels: RHP Garrett Richards threw off the mound for the first time since being tearing his right ulnar collateral ligament on May 1. He threw 20 pitches in the bullpen and is confident that continued stem cell treatments will allow him to avoid Tommy John surgery and be healthy by spring training. ... C Jett Bandy left the game after the first inning with back spasms. He was replaced by Carlos Perez.UP NEXTBlue Jays: RHP Marcus Stroman (9-8, 4.55 ERA) gets the ball for the conclusion of the four-game series. He is trying to snap a streak of three straight losses. Stroman hasnt faced Los Angeles since 2014 but struggled in two appearances (one start), and is 0-0 with a 14.30 ERA.Angels: RHP Alex Meyer will make his fourth big league start and his fifth big league appearance. Meyer is still looking for his first win (0-3, 8.18) and is coming off a rough outing against the Seattle Mariners, in which he struggled with his fastball command and was forced to throw more changeups than he was comfortable with.Ultra Boost Clima Australia .

He made the first payment out of his private foundation, Krystko Foundation.In canceling the game, Krystkowiak said the teams needed time to cool off after BYU guard Nick Emery was kicked out for throwing a punch during the 2015 game.The move angered Ute and Cougar fans and triggered a debate on social media that even Utahs governor weighed in on.The university told auditors that Krystkowiak used money that he gave to the foundation, not donor contributions, to pay the cancellation cost, but auditors say they cant confirm that because the foundations records are private.Krystkowiak declined comment until he could examine the audit.Citing the rivalry, lawmakers on an audit subcommittee requested the report in February, a month after the game was canceled. Its findings were largely unremarkable.House Speaker Greg Hughes, the only subcommittee member who attended BYU, said then that the review would allow an understanding of athletic department revenues.At a hearing Tuesday, Hughes and other members of the subcommittee pored over the report, spending more than an hour questioning auditors and the schools president and athletic director about equipment, budget and other findings. They did not ask about the canceled game or the rivalry.ddddddddddddRep. Brian King, D- Salt Lake City, said some saw the audit as punishment for the canceled game, but he thought it provided useful information and reflected well on the school.Utah president David Pershing said the school agreed with the audits recommendations recommendations for tighter controls of the departments budget and operations and said the school is making the changes.The series dates to 1909 and was only canceled once -- in 1944 due to World War II.Utah and BYU are scheduled to meet again in December 2017 and in 2018 as part of the newly formed Beehive Classic.Utah, BYU, Utah State and Weber State will play in a December basketball tournament that starts in 2017 and runs each year through 2019.The audit focused on granular operations of the athletic department such as whether audio visual equipment and electronics were properly labeled and inventoried and how recently locks were replaced on buildings.Legislature Auditor General John Schaff said Schaff he didnt know how much the efficiency and effectiveness audit cost, but three staff members and an intern have been working on it since late March, while juggling other projects.Its the first time Schaffs office has audited a university athletic department.The 72-page report also found that salaries for most coaching staff increased significantly after the school joined the Pac-12 in 2011, and expenses have also jumped in an effort to compete with other Pac-12 schools.---AP Sports Writer Kareem Copeland contributed to this report.
