TORONTO -- Albert Pujols had a productive night at the plate and passed a former teammate on the all-time home run list, helping the Angels to a rare road win.Pujols moved into sole possession of 10th place on baseballs all-time list by hitting his 584th home run, Matt Shoemaker pitched six shutout innings and Los Angeles snapped an 11-game road losing streak by beating the Toronto Blue Jays 8-2 on Wednesday.Pujols had a season-high four hits and three RBI. After he and Mike Trout hit back-to-back homers in the first, Pujols hit a sacrifice fly in the second, singled in the fourth and sixth innings, then capped his night with an RBI double in the eighth.Pujols left without speaking to reporters, but his teammates shared their happiness at his historic homer.Albert will probably pass a few more of those guys, hopefully all of them, Shoemaker said. Its always special and were happy for him.Pujols leads the Angels with 99 RBI.Albert just keeps going, manager Mike Scioscia said. Hes approaching 100 RBI. Hes in the middle of our lineup virtually every day. He got some big hits tonight.For Pujols, the homer broke a tie with Mark McGwire on the all-time list. Pujols hit 37 homers as a rookie with St. Louis in 2001, McGwires final season before retirement.Thats pretty special, Trout said of Pujols milestone homer. Obviously he and McGwire were teammates, they know each other well.A three-time MVP and 10-time All-Star, Pujols is two home runs shy of tying Frank Robinson for ninth place.A 16-year veteran, Pujols has hit at least 20 home runs in every season but 2013, when he was limited to 99 games.He hasnt shown any signs of slowing down, Trout said. Hes still putting up numbers, still driving in 100. Its fun to watch.Two pitches after Trout hit his 24th home run, Pujols did the same. It was the fourth time this season the Angels have hit back-to-back homers.Both shots came off Blue Jays right-hander Marco Estrada, who allowed season-worsts of six runs and 10 hits in five innings. Estrada (7-6) is winless in his past three starts and has allowed six homers in that span.My last two outings havent gone well but these things happen, Estrada said. Im sure things will turn around for me.Jett Bandy had a career-high four hits as the Angels won away from home for the first time since July 26 at Kansas City. They matched the 1963 squad for the third-longest road skid in Angels history. Los Angeles lost a record 14 straight road games in 1969.Shoemaker (8-13) allowed three hits, walked one and struck out three to win consecutive starts for the second time this season.Shoe did a great job, Scioscia said. That lineup can swing the bats if you make mistakes. He didnt make very many mistakes.Toronto remained tied with Boston atop the AL East after the Red Sox lost 4-3 in 11 innings at Tampa Bay.FOUR PLAYPujols hadnt had a four-hit game since June 17, 2013, against Seattle.POWER OUTAGEThe Blue Jays are 8-23 when they dont hit at least one home run.
