Angels beat the Royals in season opener, 5-0 Angels center fielder Peter Bourjos scores on Erick Aybar's three-run triple ahead of the tag by Royals catcher Brayan Pena in the eighth inning Friday night at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. Mark J. Terrill / Associated Press / April 6, 2012 By Lance Pugmire April 6, 2012, 9:52 p.m. Thanks to six hits and five runs in the eighth inning, the Angels celebrated opening night Friday with a 5-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals at a sold-out Angel Stadium in Anaheim. Peter Bourjos' infield single started the scoring, and was quickly followed by a three-run triple to right field by Erick Aybar, making a winner of pitcher Jered Weaver, who struck out 10 with no walks in eight innings of work. Weaver finished at 97 pitches. Aybar scored on a single by Torii Hunter, as the Angels withstood a hitless night by star Albert Pujols in his Anaheim debut.
