ANAHEIM -- Kole Calhoun continued to put his early season slump in the rearview mirror on Thursday, homering for the second consecutive game in the fourth inning of the Angels' series opener against the Blue Jays at Angel Stadium.
After Andrelton Simmons reached on a single, Calhoun hammered a fastball from John Axford out to right-center field for a two-run homer that gave the Angels a 4-3 lead. The ball nicked off the glove of Kevin Pillar and landed above the new home run barrier on the right-field wall.
Calhoun is now 4-for-9 with two home runs and three RBIs in three games since returning from the disabled list on Monday.
