ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Toronto Blue Jays are struggling so badly, even when they get a huge break, they cant capitalize on it. Their first six batters went down in order against Jered Weaver, who had to leave after 24 pitches because of stiffness in his lower back. But the Jays got only two harmless singles over the final four innings against five relievers and lost their fifth straight, 5-2 to the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night. "We thought we finally caught a break when Weaver left, but they shut us down," manager John Gibbons said. "Weavers different than he used to be and has a different style, but hes still one of the toughest guys around, so you feel good when he comes out of the game." Juan Francisco hit his 14th home run for the Blue Jays, who slipped three games behind AL East-leading Baltimore. J.A. Happ (7-5) was charged with five runs, seven hits and three walks in 4 1-3 innings. "Weve seen him do that before," Gibbons said. "Thats where he gets into trouble, when he loses the strike zone. Every now and then hell go through those stretches where it deserts him. Hes still got to throw it over the plate and take his chances and let them hit a ball at somebody." The Angels grabbed a 5-2 lead in the fifth. Chris Iannetta, who scored their first run in the third on Mike Trouts groundout, started the four-run rally with a leadoff double that a fan touched near the top of the 18-foot wall in right-centre field. Manager Mike Scioscia asked second base umpire Jim Wolf for a video review, hoping for a home run call he didnt get. Happ walked his next two batters before Albert Pujols hit a bloop single to right-centre that tied the score. It was his second bases-loaded hit in two days, after starting the season 0 for 13 in those situations. Josh Hamilton followed with a sacrifice fly, Howie Kendrick chased Happ with an RBI single through the box, and Erick Aybar greeted Chad Jenkins with an RBI double on the right-handers first pitch. "We know he likes to throw fastballs, so we wanted to make him throw strikes," Hamilton said. "Hes got really good stuff, so youve got to make him throw strikes. And if he doesnt then he gets into a bad count and have to throw a strike. Then you can do some damage with it." The winning pitcher was Matt Shoemaker (7-2), who made 61 pitches in his emergency stint while allowing two runs and five hits through 3 2-3 innings. The rookie right-hander had thrown 102 pitches last Thursday in a win over Houston. "It was unbelievable. You talk about trying to earn respect points, and Shoemaker definitely did that -- going on three days rest," Weaver said. "That goes a long way. I mean, for him to step up and do what he did after not thinking he was going to pitch tonight was pretty spectacular. That was an awesome job by him, mentally, and you saw the way the rest of the bullpen came in and shut the door against a pretty good lineup." The Angels recently acquired veteran duo of Joe Thatcher and Jason Grilli helped piece it together with Kevin Jepsen and Joe Smith, who got three outs for his 11th save. The Angels extended their home winning streak to 11 games, one shy of the franchise record set in 1967 -- their second season in Anaheim. They are 16 games over .500 for the first time since ending the 2012 season at 89-73, and remain 3 1/2 games behind AL West-leading Oakland. NOTES: Blue Jays RF Jose Bautista made his second straight start at 1B because of Edwin Encarnacions strained right quadriceps, which landed the second-time All-Star on the 15-day disabled list Monday. Nolan Reimould was added to the major league roster and made his Blue Jays debut starting in CF and going 0 for 3 a day after he was claimed off waivers from Baltimore.

Viewers in the Jets region can catch all the action on TSN3 at 7pm et/6pm ct or follow along on TSN Radio 1290 in Winnipeg and TSN Radio 690 in Montreal. The Jets bounced back from a shootout loss to Pittsburgh with a 2-1 triumph over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday in a shootout. Mathieu Perreault had the winner in the sixth round. After Colin Greenings backhander was stopped in tight by Ondrej Pavelec, Perreault skated slowly up the slot and wristed a shot past Craig Anderson on the blocker side despite some subpar equipment. I think my last shift in overtime I blocked a shot with my stick and it was cracked, but I didnt know, said Perreault. If I shot it hard, I knew it would snap. So I went in there and tried to put it in the corner. Tobias Enstrom scored Winnipegs lone goal in regulation and Pavelec made 37 saves for the Jets, who have gone 6-0-2 since a regulation loss to Tampa Bay on Oct. 24. Winnipeg won the opener of a five-game road trip and should stick with the red-hot Pavelec tonight. The netminder has yielded one goal or fewer in five of his past seven games, but is just 4-8-1 lifetime versus the Canadiens with a 2.95 goals against average and .900 save percentage. The Canadiens shoot for a third victory in a row after winning the opener of a four-game homestand 4-1 over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. Jiri Sekac and Lars Eller finished with a goal and an assist each, while Brendan Gallagher and Max Pacioretty also tallied. Carey Price made 30 saves to help Montreal win back-to-back games following a three-game slide. We made a lot of good decisions tonight, said Price. By movving the puck out of our zone, we obviously were using our speed again.dddddddddddd I thought we played a pretty solid game, all around. Sekac netted his second career goal in his eighth game and will get a chance to stick in the lineup as Rene Bourque was sent to the minors after clearing waivers. The 22-year-old Sekac has dressed for the past two games after being a healthy scratch for seven in a row. Price is 11-4-3 with a 2.24 GAA and .922 save percentage in his career versus the Jets, who have lost six of seven and nine of their last 11 against the Habs. Winnipeg had lost five straight in Montreal before recording a 2-1 victory at the Bell Centre on Feb. 2.
