Anaheim, Calif. -- Marc Rzepczynski, recalled from the minors to make the start, allowed two hits in seven innings Friday to bring Toronto a 3-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels.

Rzepczynski (1-1) was sent down to Class AAA Las Vegas earlier this season and he compiled only a 6.04 ERA in 12 starts.

Nevertheless, he was summoned back to the majors to take a spot in the Toronto rotation and he dominated the Angels. He did not walk a batter and struck out six, but hit two batters.

Scott Downs and Kevin Gregg finished off the shutout, with Gregg collecting his 26th save.

Edwin Encarnacion put the Blue Jays in front with an RBI single in the second. Aaron Hill had a sacrifice fly in the fourth and Fred Lewis doubled home the final run in the seventh.

The Blue Jays scored four times in the first, with Hill hitting a solo homer and Jose Bautista contributing a two-run single.

Wells then gave Toronto a 5-0 advantage with a home run in the third and the Blue Jays took a shutout into the seventh.

Marc Rzepczynski (2-3) worked 6 1/3 innings to get the win, giving up just three hits to the normally high-scoring Angels.

TORONTO, July 18 (UPI) -- Marc Rzepczynski got his first major league victory Saturday by holding Boston to a run and four hits in six innings in a 6-2 win by Toronto.

Rzepczynski (1-1) walked four batters, but was able to keep Boston's explosive offense in check and four relievers did the same thing.

Adam Lind hit a two-run homer, Jose Bautista a two-run double, Alex Rios an RBI single and one run scored on Kevin Millar's double-play ground out.

The Blue Jays snapped their three-game losing streak by limiting Boston to Jed Lowrie's solo homer and Rocco Baldelli's RBI single.

Losing pitcher Brad Penny (6-4) surrendered six runs and eight hits in five innings for the Red Sox, who had won four in a row.
It was Penny's first career loss at Toronto.
