ANAHEIM, Calif. — Vernon Wells hit a two-run homer, Alex Rios went 3-for-5 with two RBIs and three stolen bases, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the error-plagued Los Angeles Angels 7-5 on Saturday night.

Roy Halladay (10-6) gave up two runs and six hits in seven innings, struck out seven and recorded only three of his outs on flyballs to the outfield. The 2003 AL Cy Young Award winner allowed only one runner past first base after giving up a two-run homer to Vladimir Guerrero in the fourth.

The Angels committed four errors, matching their season high on June 20 at Philadelphia.

Guerrero had three RBIs, including a run-scoring double in the eighth against Scott Downs. Closer B.J. Ryan, pitching for the first time in five days, came on in the ninth with a 7-3 lead before giving up an RBI single to Howie Kendrick. Gary Matthews Jr. scored on a double-play grounder by Mike Napoli, but Ryan retired Casey Kotchman on a flyball to end it after giving up a double by Chone Figgins.

John Lackey (6-2) gave up six runs — five earned — over six innings with seven strikeouts. The right-hander yielded more than three runs for the first time in 10 starts after missing the first 1 1/2 months of the season with a strained biceps.

Guerrero ended a 10-game home run drought with his 14th of the season after a single by Kotchman, trimming Toronto's lead to 3-2. The homer was Guerrero's first at Angel Stadium since June 11.

Wells restored Toronto's three-run margin with a two-run shot, driving a 1-2 pitch to left-centre for his ninth of the season after a double by Marco Scutaro. Wells is batting .293 with four homers and 15 RBIs in 23 games since coming off the disabled list with a broken left wrist.

After striking out the side in the second inning, Lackey gave up three runs in the third. Rios drove in two with a bases-loaded single on a 2-2 pitch, and Scutaro scored when Wells' grounder got through third baseman Figgins for an error.

Lyle Overbay led off the sixth with a double and scored Toronto's sixth run on a fielder's choice grounder to second by Adam Lind, beating the throw home standing up as Napoli tried to block the plate with his left foot. Napoli's throwing error to third base on Rios' second stolen base of the seventh inning allowed another run to score, giving the Blue Jays a 7-2 lead.

Rios' first stolen base came on the front end of a double-steal with Wells, and he has been successful in his last 26 attempts. His 21 steals are the most by a Toronto player before the all-star break since Raul Mondesi had 21 in the first half in 2000.
