ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Jered Weaver pitched into jams and out of trouble in every early inning, waiting for the Los Angeles Angels slumbering bats to provide some help. The Angels came through with just enough offence to seal a sweep of Philadelphia. Howie Kendrick delivered a go-ahead, two-run single in the sixth inning, and Weaver pitched six resilient innings in the Angels 4-3 victory over the Phillies on Wednesday night. Weaver (13-7) yielded two runs and eight hits for the Angels, improving to 6-1 in his last 10 starts despite trailing 2-1 in the sixth. "You keep this team in the game, and the offence is going to come through," said Weaver, who improved to 16-4 in interleague play. "If you can limit those guys, well always have a chance." Brennan Boesch drove in two runs for the Angels, who salvaged a 3-4 homestand by sweeping two games from the last-place Phillies. Los Angeles (70-49) pulled within 2 1/2 games of Oakland atop the overall major league standings. The Angels once-powerful offence struggled throughout the homestand, but came alive in the sixth inning of both games against the Phillies. One night after Los Angeles scored seven runs in the sixth, it scored three more against A.J. Burnett (6-13), who had shut down the Angels in the first five. Albert Pujols started the rally with a one-out double, and Kendricks bases-loaded bloop landed just inside the right-field line. Boesch, recalled from the minors Tuesday, then added an RBI groundout. He also had a sacrifice fly in the second. "We didnt kill the ball, and the early runs werent there, but we broke through and held a lead," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Right now, weve got to scratch and claw if youre not going to score runs. Thats the only way youre going to beat good pitchers like Burnett." Burnett gave up five hits and four walks over six innings, dropping to 0-5 in his last six starts. "I dont feel snakebit," Burnett said. "Its in my control. I mean, it definitely hasnt gone the way I wanted it to. Im very discouraged. Im not going to lie. Im not a bit happy, but the season is not over." Marlon Byrd and Jimmy Rollins had early run-scoring singles for the Phillies, who have lost nine straight games to the Angels since 2003. Grady Sizemore tripled and scored on Domonic Browns groundout in the eighth against Joe Smith, but Huston Street pitched a perfect ninth for his seventh save. Street has made 10 scoreless appearances since the Angels acquired the All-Star closer from San Diego last month. TROUT SNARED: Mike Trout went 0 for 4, capping an ugly 4-for-29 homestand for the Angels MVP candidate. Trout, who grew up a Phillies fan in southern New Jersey, saw his average drop from .305 to .294 in seven games. A NEW WEAVER: The Angels longtime ace pitched two days after his wife, Kristin, gave birth to their second child, daughter Josie. Weaver will bring his family home from the hospital on Thursday before catching up with the Angels in Texas on Friday for the series opener. "My wife let me get my rest," Weaver said. TRAINERS ROOM: Angels: Tyler Skaggs had elbow ligament replacement surgery Wednesday. He wont return until 2016. Reliever Mike Morin, who cut his foot, is scheduled to pitch in the minors Thursday, hoping to return to the Angels on Saturday. UP NEXT: Phillies: After a travel day, Cole Hamels (6-6, 2.37 ERA) takes the mound in San Francisco. Angels: After a day off, Garrett Richards (12-4, 2.54 ERA) opens a weekend series at Texas.

Neals slapshot over Anders Lindbacks right shoulder capped a frantic final 15 minutes of play as the teams traded the lead three times. Evgeni Malkin had two goals and two assists while Sidney Crosby added a goal and two assists for the Penguins, who have won nine straight over the Lightning. Jeff Zatkoff stopped 21 shots and Pittsburgh ended Tampa Bays five-game winning streak. Steven Stamkos, Valtteri Filppula and Ondrej Palat scored for the Lightning, who have recorded at least one point in eight straight games. Lindback made 25 saves but had no chance on Neals 23rd goal of the season. The teams spent two periods playing the kind of conservative hockey more suited for the Stanley Cup playoffs than the wide-open attacking style more fitting for two of the most offensively talented teams in the league. No matter, they made up for it in the third. Stamkos broke a 1-1 tie 8:17 into the final period when he poked a rebound underneath Zatkoffs legs to put the Lightning in front. The lead lasted less than three minutes, as Malkin pounced on a rebound off a Matt Niskanen slapshot into an open net for his third goal in two games. Malkins 23th of the season came with 3:17 left in regulation when he powered a shot by Lindback that seemed to deflate the Lightning. It did, but only momentarily. Palat stunned the 319th consecutive sellout crowd at Consol Energy Center when he cleanly beat Zatkoff to tie the game at 3 with just 1:22 left in regulatiion.dddddddddddd Tampa Bay gave the leagues top-ranked power play a chance to end it when the Lightning were called for too many men on the ice 1:11 into overtime. The Penguins needed just 16 seconds to win it as Malkin set up Neal in the forwards favourite spot at the top of the left circle. The puck was a blur as it sailed into the net as Pittsburgh bounced back from a 5-4 overtime loss to Detroit on Thursday when the Red Wings scored on a bounce off a Penguins defenceman with less than a second to go in overtime. The Lightning have been the hottest team in hockey not named the Boston Bruins since Stamkos return from a leg injury last month. Fueled by their star -- and his elevation to captain after Martin St. Louis was traded to the New York Rangers -- Tampa Bay has sprinted to third in the Eastern Conference standings. They certainly looked like one of the conferences elite while trying to end a lengthy bout of futility against Pittsburgh. Tampa Bay clogged the neutral zone and seemed to have the upper hand at times when the teams were playing at full strength. Seven penalties, however, did them in. The Penguins went 3 for 6 on the power play. NOTES: Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said theres a "possibility" goaltender Tomas Vokoun could play before the beginning of the post-season, though it seems unlikely. Vokoun has been out since training camp while recovering from a blood clots. ... Zatkoff picked up the first point of his NHL career with the secondary assist on Crosbys goal. ...
