ANAHEIM — There must be a height limit on home run hitters at Angel Stadium.

Maicer Izturis didn't go deep again Sunday but Chone Figgins did, joining the mighty mite parade that Izturis led with three home runs in the first five games of the homestand — a grown-up version of Sunday's "Kids Run the Bases" promotion.

But Figgins wasn't the only one who went deep Sunday. So did Angels catcher Jeff Mathis — and Angels starter Jered Weaver of Simi Valley. Weaver allowed just five hits completed a three-game sweep of the Minnesota Twins with a 6-2 victory.

It was just the second time in 39 big league starts that Weaver has pitched into the eighth inning and fell one out short of matching his career-long start. He allowed only five hits, walked none and cruised through the first five innings. He retired 14 of the first 17 Twins batters, allowing just one baserunner past first.

"I was able to command all my pitches," said Weaver who won for just the second time in eight starts despite a 3.91 ERA in that stretch. "My last couple starts, I've been really trying to concentrate on finishing guys off in the first three pitches. I'm not going to be able to strike everyone out. It's not college anymore. I'd kind of gotten away from my focus for a few starts there."

But he did admit to being a little distracted Sunday as well.

Weaver (8-5) said he was "peeking at the scoreboard every now and then" to keep an eye on the Seattle Mariners' score — not so much because of the Angels-Mariners race in the AL West (the Angels lead by 3 games) but because his older brother, Jeff, was pitching and Jered couldn't help noticing the zero next to the Chicago White Sox wasn't changing.

Jeff Weaver finished with a five-hit, complete-game shutout, topping his little brother from afar.

"We've matched up a few times where we pitched on the same day but I think this was the first time we both got wins," Jered Weaver said. "It was a good day for the Weavers."

It was a good week for the Angels.

They won five of six on the homestand and have won nine of their past 10 games at Angel Stadium, running their home record to a major league best 40-17.

"I don't know. I guess it's that old saying — home-field advantage," Figgins said. "Every team plays better at home. You eat better. You get to sleep in your own bed. You have the home crowd."

Home cooking can even turn 5-foot-8 table-setters into sluggers. Izturis had key home runs in triumphs over the Red Sox and Twins (including his first career grand slam). Figgins muscled up for a two-run shot in the sixth inning that turned a close game (3-1) into a more comfortable conclusion.
