Phil Gosselin began Thursday with three RBI for the season.
He then had four RBI in the first two innings of what became a 7-1 Angels victory over Minnesota in the first game of a doubleheader in Anaheim.
The utility man hit a solo homer in the first inning and followed with a two-out, full-count, bases-loaded double in the second.
Gosselin started at first base in place of Jared Walsh, who was rested after appearing in 40 of the Angels’ first 42 games. Gosselin had played in 14 games — with 42 at-bats — before Thursday.
