The Angels scored seven runs in the second against Edwin Jackson (1-5) on six hits, including three home runs, and two walks.
Upton -- activated Monday from the injured list, where he had been all season -- led off with a homer. He had been sidelined due to turf toe.

Grichuk scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh with his 13th homer of the season after Lourdes Gurriel Jr. walked with one out.

X-rays were negative.
